The Roßkopf is 736.9 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the Middle Black Forest . It is located on the outskirts of the city of Freiburg im Breisgau , between the Glottertal and the Dreisamtal . The borders of the districts of Gundelfingen , Freiburg and the formerly independent municipality of Ebnet (today Freiburg-Ebnet ) meet on the Roßkopf . Numerous boundary stones in the forest still indicate the course of the municipal boundaries today.
The Kandelhöhenweg runs over the mountain with the section from St. Peter to Freiburg . The Roßkopf is a mountain for mountain bikers (part of the bike-crossing hiking trail) and can be reached quickly from Freiburg and the surrounding communities. Only some of the hiking trails are open to cyclists and parts of the forest on the Roßkopf are under special protection as a protected forest . Below the Roßkopfturm is the entry point for a nearly 3.5-kilometer downhill trail that starts at the Roßkopf and leads to the Freiburg Youth Hostel. To the north of the summit of the Roßkopf is the Martinsfelsen at 686 meters above sea level, which offers a view of the northern Breisgau.
On its summit, next to a small rifle hut, is the Roßkopfturm (Friedrichsturm), a 35-meter-high observation tower in steel frame construction, which was built in 1889 and offers a panoramic view of Freiburg, the Kaiserstuhl and the adjacent mountains.
In 2003, Regiowind GmbH installed four wind turbines with a capacity of 1.8 megawatts each on the Roßkopf and created new access routes. The Enercon E66 / 18.70 wind turbines , which were put into operation in November 2003, have a hub height of 98 meters and a rotor diameter of 70 meters, thus a total height of 133 meters. Together with two other wind turbines on the Holzschlägermatte , the wind turbines produced over 12 million kilowatt hours of energy in 2010, which corresponds to the needs of 5,400 households.
Various streams arise on the Roßkopf, including the Schobbach, which flows through Wildtal, and the Reutebach. The Reutebach Gorge begins at the Catholic Church in Freiburg-Zähringen . Above, next to the Reutebach Bridge at the forest car park on Harbuckweg, an information board provides information that remains of the Reutebach Church were found during road construction work. According to an episcopal visitation report from 1597, there is said to have been a choir with a main altar, two side altars and a nave in the church "Zum heiligen Kreuz". From the former place "Reutebach" there are only the three "Reutebacher Höfe" left, which like Wildtal belong to the community of Gundelfingen. The highest Reutebacher Hof was the "Schönehof", which last belonged to Karl von Rotteck and was demolished after his death. Today this place is called "Rottecksruhe". There is a hut for walkers and a barbecue area.
The Wendelin chapel is located on the southern slope of the Roßkopf in the forest of Ebnet and the pilgrimage church of St. Ottilien in the upper Musbach valley in Freiburg's Waldsee district is about 750 m away on foot . The southwestern branch of the Roßkopf is the Freiburg Schlossberg with the viewing heights of the Schlossbergturm and Ludwigshöhe. To the north of it, on the western slope above the Herdern district, sculptures by Roland Phleps can be seen on the so-called "sculpture meadow ". Not far from there was the former "Jägerhäusle", initially a forester's house and later a well-known tavern. The new Panorama Hotel is still colloquially named after him. Today only the vineyard on the Eichhalde tells of the viticulture in the former winegrowing village.
Until the middle or end of the 1970s there were plans to build a tunnel through the Roßkopf from Gundelfingen to Kirchzarten for the federal motorway 86 . However, these plans were abandoned for cost reasons and replaced by a concept for the new construction of the B31 East including the Freiburg city tunnel .
