The Stöcklewald is a mountain, 1,068.2 m above sea level (NHN), in the southern part of the Central Black Forest in Germany between the towns of Furtwangen and Triberg, each about 5 kilometres distant, in the county of Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis. Towards the north, the Black Forest only exceeds this height again in the area of the Schliffkopf and the Hornisgrinde.
The European Watershed between the Rhine and the Danube runs over the mountain. On its northern slopes rises the Gutach, which flows from here in a northwesterly direction through the Schönwald Highlands and drops over its northeastern edge as the Triberg Waterfalls. To the southeast flow the tributary streams of the Breg.
The northern foot of its gently-sloping domed summit may be reached on local Landesstraßen and Kreisstraßen, both from the aforementioned towns as well as from Schönwald and Brigach. From there a road runs up to the summit, where there is a Gasthaus, a hiker's home belonging to the Black Forest Club and the Stöcklewald Tower.
The parish boundary between the village of Rohrbach (in the borough of Furtwangen) and the municipality of Schönwald runs over the summit. The parish of Nußbach in the borough of Triberg also owns part of the northern mountainside. The summit with its tower and the hiking home lie within the parish of Furtwangen-Rohrbach.
