The Rinkenkopf is a 757.5 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the area of the municipality of Baiersbronn in the northern Black Forest . The wooded ridge is bordered by the Murgtal in the south and by the Tonbachtal in the northeast. To the northwest, a saddle (the saddle egg ) that is around 50 m lower separates it from the foothills of the Black Forest .
The Rinkenmauer , the Rinkenturm and two transmission towers are located on the mountain . Several hiking trails lead there, including the Murgleiter and the connoisseur path to the Satteleihütte.
Rinkenmauer
On the top of the mountain are the remains of a 115 m long and up to 40 m wide ring wall . The time and purpose of the building are unknown. In the donation book of the Reichenbach monastery , “in monte qui Rincga vocatur” is mentioned for the first time around 1100. Presumably, the ring-shaped system was already in place at that time and gave the mountain its name.
Rinkenturm (King Wilhelms Tower)

In 1914, the Württemberg Black Forest Association built a 16 m high observation tower at the southeastern end of the ridge. Originally named after King Wilhelm II of Württemberg , it is now known as the Rinkenturm . The tower has been owned by the municipality of Baiersbronn since the early 1980s. At times it was also used as a transmission tower.
