== Geography == thumb|left|Breitnau seen from the summit of the Feldberg (Black Forest)|Feldberg thumb|left|View over the Hinterzarten Plateau of the Breitnau Bowl and the valley of the Höllental (left) The municipality of Breitnau is very spread out, with many, scattered, farmsteads, some of the very large, most of which have farmhouses with half-hipped roofs, typical of the Black Forest. The actual village centre is comparatively small, but has grown in recent years. The highest mountain is the Weißtannenhöhe ("Silver Fir Height") which is 1,190 metres high. North of the village rises the Roßberg (1,125 m) and about 1 km to the northwest of the village on the same ridge is the Hohwart (1,123 m).
