Buchenberg, Mountain summit in Halblech, Germany.

Buchenberg is a mountain summit rising to about 1140 meters in the Bavarian Allgäu region. From the top you can see across a wide landscape that includes multiple lakes and the foothills of the Alps.

The sources record no medieval trade route over Buchenberg; its documented history is modern. The summit is reached from the north by a chairlift, the Buchenbergbahn, whose mountain station stands on top beside a Gasthaus and a launch site for hang-gliders and paragliders. Walking trails and forest roads also lead up from below.

The Buchenbergalm restaurant keeps alive traditional Bavarian hospitality and serves regional dishes while guests watch paragliders from the terrace. The local food reflects the mountain farming way of life found in these valleys.

The summit is easily reached by the Buchenbergbahn, a chairlift located at Bundesstraße 17 in the Buching district. Taking the lift saves time and effort for visitors who want to enjoy the views without a long hike.
