Seebach: Mummelsee
Tucked into a glacial cirque beneath the Hornisgrinde in the northern Black Forest, Mummelsee is a place whose character is shaped by its dark mountain water and steep enclosing slopes. At about 1,030 metres above sea level, it is the largest of the seven glacial cirque lakes in this part of the range, covering around 3.7 hectares and reaching roughly 18 metres in depth. The lake belongs to Seebach and lies beside the Schwarzwaldhochstraße, the high road following the Black Forest crest. Folktales about water spirits form part of Mummelsee’s cultural identity. Hornisgrinde, the highest summit in the northern Black Forest, and paths around the shore and plateau give the area a distinctly upland character.

Seebach combines the quiet rhythm of a small Black Forest municipality with the openness of a high mountain corridor in a way that reflects its position beneath the Hornisgrinde. The settlement lies in the northern Black Forest, where wooded slopes rise toward Hornisgrinde, the region’s highest summit, and nearby Mummelsee is a glacial cirque lake beside the Black Forest High Road. This B500 route has made the ridge a classic touring line through Baden-Württemberg, while marked paths lead into forest and upland moorland. Local folklore has long associated Mummelsee with water spirits, adding a traditional layer to this mountain setting.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
