Located at the top station of the Belchenbahn. In my opinion, the trail offers better views.

When the weather is nice, the inn is very full due to the cable car. It's self-service - you place your order at the counter and you get drinks straight away. If you want to eat, you have to announce the table number and the food will be brought. This worked extremely quickly during our visit. You take drinks from the bar. It's a simple menu (potato salad with Wiener, schnitzel fries, soup of the day). The cake is delicious.

Belchen Summit (1,414 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Belchen is not the highest mountain, but it is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Black Forest, because it offers visitors a fantastic panoramic view of the Rhine Valley, the Vosges and, in good weather, even as far as the Alps. As one of the most popular excursion destinations in the southern Black Forest, the Belchen is well frequented all year round.

View of the Wiesental valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Wiesental is a valley in the southern Black Forest, named after the river Wiese. The Wiese is a right tributary of the Rhine. It rises at the Feldberg and flows out near Basel. The Wiesental was one of the earliest industrialized areas of the former Grand Duchy of Baden and an important production site for the textile industry.

With the exception of the two Swiss municipalities of Riehen and Basel at the mouth of the Wiese and the municipality of Feldberg with the Wiesenquelle (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district), the Wiesental belongs entirely to the Lörrach district. It stretches along the 55-kilometer course of the meadow in a southwesterly direction from the Feldberg (where the meadow rises at around 1200 m above sea level) to Basel (244 m above sea level). Approximately in the middle of the valley, below Schopfheim, the meadow joins its largest tributary, the Kleine Wiese. The Kleine Wiese is created near Tegernau by the merger of the Köhlgarten and Belchenwiese, its valley is known as the Kleines Wiesental.

The largest town in the Wiesental is Lörrach with around 49,000 inhabitants, followed by Schopfheim with around 19,000.
