The Schliffkopf is a 1055.8 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the northern Black Forest .

The grinding head is located on the Black Forest Road in the Black Forest National Park , between Baiersbronn , Ottenhöfen and Oppenau , and is the site of a four-star wellness hotel of the same, the National Park-Hotel Schliffkopf. Several long-distance hiking trails , including the Westweg , lead over the Schliffkopf.

At the end of June 2003, the Lothar Path Storm Throwing Adventure Trail was opened at Schliffkopf . Along an 800-meter-long educational and adventure trail on a ten-hectare storm thrown area, visitors can observe how the storm area, which was torn down by the hurricane Lothar in 1999, is gradually being repopulated . The Lothar path leads over footbridges, ladders and stairs and shows how natural forces work, how nature deals with such an area and what arises again by itself.

The Schliffkopf is the source area for the Acher and Murg rivers .

A 520.1 hectare area of the high moor-like summit region has been designated as a nature reserve since 1938 .
