The Wildsee, also called the Wilder See, is located in the northern Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg, northeast of the Ruhestein in the municipality of Baiersbronn. The lake, far from any settlement, lies at an elevation of 910 m, east of the main ridge of the Northern Black Forest, in a Würm glacial cirque with several moraine ridges, up to 120 m deep. It is particularly visible from the neighboring Seekopf (1055 m above sea level). The almost circular cirque lake has an area of 2.4 hectares, a depth of 11.5 m, and drains via the Schönmünz River into the Murg. It is slightly dammed, as it was once used as a surge water for log rafting. The Wildsee is part of the Black Forest National Park, established in 2014. Since 1939 it was surrounded by the Wilder See – Hornisgrinde nature reserve, which stretched over an area of 766 hectares across the highlands east of the mountain ridge between Hornisgrinde and Ruhestein and has largely been incorporated into the national park.

The view is great. The lake, not so much. Unfortunately it was created due to ski tourism. The entire mountain is designed for this.
