Kandel Gipfelpyramide

Responsible for this content
ZweiTälerLand Verified partner 

The Kandel pyramid is a small viewing platform on the 1,241 metre high Kandel.

From there, you have a wonderful view of the Elz Valley and the Breisgau Bay. In good weather, you can see the Feldberg and, with a bit of luck, the Vosges mountains and the Alps.
