Hochfirst Tower

Der Hochfirstturm ist ein 25 m hoher Aussichtsturm auf dem Hochfirst (1190 m ü. NN), dem Hausberg von Titisee-Neustadt. Er wurde 1890 durch den Schwarzwaldverein Neustadt auf dem Natursteinsockel seines Vorgängers erbaut. Der zuvor aus Holz errichtete Turm fiel einem Orkan zum Opfer. Als bauliche Besonderheit besitzt die jetzige Eisengitterkonstruktion eine gegenläufige ummantelte Wendeltreppe, so dass auf- und absteigende Besucher sich nicht begegnen. Nach 123 Stufen ist die Aussichtsplattform mit Panoramatafeln erreicht. Unterhalb liegt im Südwesten der Ortsteil Titisee mit dem Titisee, dem größten natürlichen See des Schwarzwalds. Darüber erkennt man den ca. 14 km entfernten Feldberg. Mit 1493 m ü. NN ist er der höchste Berg Deutschlands außerhalb der Alpen. Die Rundsicht erstreckt sich auf den Südschwarzwald sowie bei klarer Sicht über Hegau, Schwäbische Alb bis zu den Alpen.
