Almberg

Almberg is a mountain peak in the Bavarian Forest near the border with Czechia, standing at about 1,139 meters with forested slopes. The area has numerous hiking trails and operates as a winter sports destination with ski lift facilities.

Settlement of the surrounding area began in the 17th century under the rule of Prince Bishops from Lamberg and Firmian. Villages like Philippsreut and Mitterfirmiansreut were founded then and shaped the region's development.

The summit draws hikers and skiers who experience the mountain as a focal point for outdoor life in the region. It serves as a gathering place where visitors connect with the forested landscape and understand the importance of these peaks in local life.

The mountain is well-served by hiking trails and offers good skiing conditions in winter with lift systems available. Visitors should prepare for changing mountain weather and expect smaller crowds outside peak seasons.

On clear autumn days with föhn winds, visitors from the summit plateau can see distant Alpine peaks from the Totes Gebirge to Zugspitze. This rare long-distance view spans across countries and only occurs under specific weather conditions.
