The Schauinsland (literally look-into-the-country; near Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany), is a mountain in the Black Forest with an elevation of 1,284 m (4,213 ft) above sea level. It is a popular destination for day trips. Due to the high amount of silver mining, it was previously known as Erzkasten (literally ore box); the name Schouwesland first appeared in 1347. The mountain is located roughly ten kilometres south-east of Freiburg's city centre.
