At a height of {{Höhe|1448.2|DE-NHN|link=true}}{{GeoQuelle|DE|BFN-Karten}}, the '''Seebuck''' is the second highest mountain of the [Black Forest](/source/Black_Forest) after the [Feldberg](/source/Feldberg_(Black_Forest)).[https://www.alemannische-seiten.de: [https://www.alemannische-seiten.de/deutschland/feldberg_seebuck.php Seebuck], retrieved 25 January 2011. If the [Baldenweger Buck](/source/Baldenweger_Buck) is counted, the Seebuck is the third highest.] It is located in the German state of [Baden-Württemberg](/source/Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg).

The mountain rises in the [Southern Black Forest](/source/Southern_Black_Forest) immediately southeast of the [Feldberg](/source/Feldberg_im_Schwarzwald), of which it is sometimes considered a part because both mountains are part of the same ridge, only separated by a shallow depression called the ''Grüble'' or Feldberg Saddle (''Feldbergsattel'').
The Seebuck drops steeply eastwards into the [Feldsee](/source/Feldsee) lake, through which the ''Seebach'' flows, a stream that is later called the ''Gutach'' and then the [Wutach](/source/Wutach_(river)). The ''Felsenweg'' ("Rock Path") which runs from the summit area down the steep mountainside to the Feldsee is only suitable for hikers with robust footwear and [sure-footedness](/source/sure-footedness), but is very attractive thanks to its varied route and views of the Feldsee below.
== Tourism ==
=== Feldberg Tower ===
The Feldberg Tower (''Feldbergturm'') is located on the Seebuck. This is a former transmission tower that now acts as an observation tower and, since 2013, has housed a ham museum.[''{{cite web |url=http://www.feldbergbahn.de/Feldbergturm/Das-Schinkenmuseum |title=Das Schinkenmuseum / Feldbergturm / Startseite - Feldbergbahn :: Schwarzwald Bergbahn Aussichtsturm |accessdate=2015-06-28 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130722183543/http://www.feldbergbahn.de/Feldbergturm/Das-Schinkenmuseum |archivedate=2013-07-22 }}'', retrieved 22 July 2013]
=== Summer ===
The mountain is a popular destination for day trippers. The car park at the foot of the Seebuck is the base for numerous walks to the nearby ridge (to the [Feldberg](/source/Feldberg_(Black_Forest)), [Stübenwasen](/source/St%C3%BCbenwasen) and [Notschrei](/source/Notschrei), to the [Toter Mann](/source/Toter_Mann_(Black_Forest)), to the [Herzogenhorn](/source/Herzogenhorn) or to [Hinterzarten](/source/Hinterzarten)), as well as walks to the nearby valleys (Menzenschwand valley, [Wiese](/source/Wiese_(river)), St. Wilhelm's Valley, Zastler valley).

[[File:Bismarckdenkmal Seebuck 4074.jpg|thumb|[Bismarck monument](/source/Bismarck_monument) on the Seebuck]]
In the summit area of the Seebuck on the edge of the Feldsee bowl is a [Bismarck monument](/source/Bismarck_monument) made of [rubble stone](/source/rubble_stone), and on which is a portrait medallion, that was built between 1895 and 1896 by [Fridolin Dietsche](/source/Fridolin_Dietsche).[Heinz Schmitt (ed.): ''Denkmäler, Brunnen und Freiplastiken in Karlsruhe 1715–1945.'' 2n edition, publication by the Karlsruhe City Archive 7, Karlsruhe, 1989, {{ISBN|3-7617-0264-7}}] The relief was cast by Wilhelm Pelargus in Stuttgart, the first sketch was made by Karlsruhe professor, Karl Gagel (1861–1916).[karlsruhe.de: ''[http://www1.karlsruhe.de/Aktuell/Stadtzeitung11/sz0715.htm Geschichte: Künstler Karl Gagel vor 150 Jahren geboren] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219045636/http://www1.karlsruhe.de/Aktuell/Stadtzeitung11/sz0715.htm |date=2016-12-19 }}'', city newspaper dated 18 February 2011, retrieved 17 Juli 2011][[http://az.ub.uni-freiburg.de/show/fz.cgi?cmd=showpic&ausgabe=02&day=06&year=1896&month=10&project=3&anzahl=4 Article] in the ''Freiburger Zeitung'' dated 6 October 1896, retrieved 17 July 2011] For its unveiling on 4 October 1896 the committee for the erection of the monument sent [Otto von Bismarck](/source/Otto_von_Bismarck) a telegramme. His answer was printed in the ''Freiburger Zeitung'':
{{blockquote|I am very grateful for the high honour, that has been bestowed on me with the erection of the monument on the Feldberg and from previous visits to the Black Forest have vivid memories to the beautiful Baden countryside.|Otto von Bismarck[[http://az.ub.uni-freiburg.de/show/fz.cgi?cmd=showpic&ausgabe=02&day=07&year=1896&month=10&project=3&anzahl=4 ''Freiburger Zeitung'' dated 7 October 1896], retrieved 30 December 2010]}}
The occasion itself celebrated with a banquet on the evening before and an official lunch on the day of the opening ceremony. To handle the numbers of festival guests, a special train ran from Freiburg nach Titisee on the [Höllental Railway](/source/H%C3%B6llentalbahn_(Black_Forest)).[[http://az.ub.uni-freiburg.de/show/fz.cgi?cmd=showpic&ausgabe=02&day=02&year=1896&month=10&project=3&anzahl=4 Announcement] in the ''Freiburger Zeitung'' dated 2 October 1896, retrieved 8 January 2011]
In September 2009 the monument was renovated, the first time for eleven years.[badische-zeitung.de: ''[http://www.badische-zeitung.de/feldberg/kein-blick-auf-bismarck--20025116.html Feldberg: Kein Blick auf Bismarck]'', 26 September 2009, retrieved 30 May 2010]
On the edge of the large car park at the foot of the Seebuck (near the Feldberger Hof) a [nature conservation](/source/nature_conservation) centre for the Southern Black Forest was built, the "House of Nature" (''Haus der Natur''). A little below it, above the [federal road](/source/Bundesstra%C3%9Fe) is the highest [church](/source/church_(building)) in Germany: the [Catholic](/source/Roman_Catholic_church) [parish church](/source/parish_church) of the ''[Transfiguration of Christ](/source/Transfiguration_of_Jesus)''.
