Mountain description
The Stuifen lies in the area of the municipality of Waldstetten and counts as their local mountain . Together with the Rechberg and the Hohenstaufen it forms the Three Kaiser Mountains . In contrast to the other two Kaiserberge mountains, the Stuifen is not built on, but is almost completely forested. The summit can only be reached on foot.
There is a parking lot for hikers near Wißgoldingen at a height of 544 m .
Up to 1850 the stuifen was still covered by juniper heather . The afforestation was carried out for reasons of flood protection and was completed in 1918.
Stuifenkreuz
In September 2011, a twelve-meter-high wooden cross was erected at a height of 718 m on an open space on the west side of the Stuifen . It faces the other two Kaiser mountains (Rechberg and Hohenstaufen). A lookout point has been created here to the south and west, where there is also a refuge and a barbecue area.
