history

Memorial plaque on the Huberfelsen

Originally the rock was called "Spitzer-Stein". In August 1902 it became a memorial in honor of the former Obervogts Theodor Huber . Since then, a small plaque on the rock has been pointing to the namesake. In 2004 the railing was adapted to new safety standards.

Tourism

View to the east from the Huberfelsen

The rock is touched by three long-distance hiking trails of the Black Forest Association , the Westweg , the Schwarzwald-Querweg Rottweil-Lahr and the Zweälersteig . The rock, which looks like a ship's bow with its railing, can be climbed and offers a panoramic view, for example, of the upper Elztal (Oberprechtal) and the Gutach valley near Hornberg . There are several seats below, at the foot and along the path.
