The Feldberg is the highest mountain in the Black Forest and also of Germany outside the Alps; with an elevation of 1493 meters. Freiburg im Breisgau is the closest city.
It is not to be confused with the two smaller hills in Hochtaunuskreis district some 300km to the North, Kleiner Feldberg (825 m) and Großer Feldberg (880 m), which was used for hillclimbing races. These kind of motorsport contests took also place in Black Forest, at the nearby Schauinsland.
Feldberg is also the name of the local community, comprising the villages of Bärental, Feldberg, Falkau, Altglashütten and Neuglashütten.
