100 Years Hochkopfturm: A whole summer full of wanderlust in Todtmoos
The Todtmoos Anniversary Hiking Summer 2026 combines nature experiences, local history, and scenic hiking trails into a versatile summer program in the South Black Forest. From July 15 to September 30, Todtmoos invites you to discover five certified routes, collect stamps, and experience the unique atmosphere surrounding the 100-year-old landmark Hochkopfturm.
A landmark with a view
At the heart of the anniversary is the Hochkopfturm, which celebrates its 100th birthday in 2026. On July 26, visitors are expected to gather directly at the tower for an anniversary celebration featuring music, lectures, coffee, and cake. In clear visibility, the panorama extends from Feldberg over the Vosges to the Alps. The observation tower makes regional history visible while also providing impressive views over the elevated landscape of the South Black Forest.
Five certified routes for different hiking experiences
The summit challenge leads through nature around Todtmoos on five selected paths. The short panoramic round covers 4.21 kilometers with about 220 meters of elevation gain and takes about one and a half hours. The Hochkopfturm and Scheibenfelsen tour spans 13.17 kilometers, while the Lebküchlerweg connects the landscape with the centuries-old Todtmoos gingerbread tradition over 12.77 kilometers.
More demanding hikers will find challenging day hikes with the 21.7-kilometer Turmsteig and the 25.63-kilometer tenth Westweg stage. Depending on the route, participants can expect up to 1,072 meters of elevation gain and more than eight hours of hiking time. Thus, the hiking options range from scenic half-day tours to strenuous long-distance hiking stages.
Hiking days with a communal discovery experience
From September 17 to 20, 2026, the Todtmoos Hiking Days will be on the agenda. Four guided hiking tours open up the diverse nature around the healing climate resort and Marian pilgrimage site. The shared experience of being on the move, following selected paths, and the expert sharing of local special features make the hiking days a cultural enrichment for active guests and nature enthusiasts.
Hiking, collecting stamps, and winning
The summit challenge combines movement with a playful incentive. On the five routes, participants collect stamps at designated locations and submit their completed participation form by no later than September 30, 2026, at the Todtmoos Tourist Information. Prizes include an overnight stay with breakfast for two people, a hiking outfit, hiking shoes, and a filled Black Forest backpack.
Experience Black Forest culture and nature up close
Todtmoos is located in the upper Wehratal between 663 and 1,263 meters in altitude and is characterized by forests, mountain air, and distinctive high-altitude trails. Alongside the Hochkopfturm, the Lebküchlerweg, the pilgrimage church of Our Lady, the Hope Mine, and the Heimethus are among the noteworthy attractions in the community. Thus, the hiking summer combines landscape discoveries with cultural heritage and authentic regional atmosphere.
