Neunlinden Tower Neunlinden Tower and telecommunications tower on the Totenkopf, the highest mountain in the Kaiserstuhl. © Matthias SchoppPhoto: Matthias Schopp, Rother Bergverlag
The 14-meter-high Neunlinden Tower is an unmistakable landmark of the Kaiserstuhl. At first glance, it appears like the keep of a medieval castle, but it was actually only built in 1900. The battlemented masonry is located on the 555-meter-high eastern peak of the Totenkopf, the Neunlindenbuck. The two-meter higher western peak is much less visited by hikers, as it offers no view at all. Only a boundary stone marks the highest point of the entire Kaiserstuhl. The name Totenkopf possibly goes back to King Otto III, who had court rulings carried out on the "King's Chair" over 1000 years ago. With Otto's crowning as emperor, the name was also changed to Kaiserstuhl. The Neunlinden Path leads as the shortest connection between Ihringen and Endingen to the historic tower and often follows the Kaiserstuhl Path.
Also marked as the north-south route, the Neunlinden Path leads us from the station in Ihringen past the wine cooperative to the Neunlinden School and the church square. After an initial climb in Schlichtengasse, a loess hollow path, it leaves the built-up area behind the cemetery. In the romantic Dulltalgasse, we gradually gain height before narrow and steep paths, steps, and finally a wide farm road lead to the inn on Lenzenberg. Immediately behind the popular refreshment stop, we enter the forest, where a beautiful path climbs the Gierstein and then gently swings into the Adlerhorstsattel. Here the Neunlinden Path joins the Kaiserstuhl Path, and together we make the final ascent to the Neunlinden Tower at 555 m. Already well over a third of the route and most of the elevation gain are behind us.From the rest area under the tower, the route descends through the forest to Schöne Aussicht and then follows comfortable gravel paths between vineyards down to Vogelsang Pass.
