Laber, Mountain summit in Oberammergau, Germany.
Description
Laber is a mountain summit in the Ammergauer Alps near Oberammergau that reaches 1682 meters and offers views toward surrounding peaks. A mountain railway transports visitors to the top station, where multiple trails branch out across forested slopes.
History
A mountain railway built decades ago transformed access to this summit and helped establish it as a popular destination. The infrastructure enabled wider tourism in the Bavarian Alps region.
Culture
Paragliders frequently launch from the peak, while the summit restaurant serves regional Bavarian dishes that reflect local food traditions.
Practical
The mountain railway reaches the summit in roughly 30 minutes and becomes busy on weekends and holidays. Hiking trails also lead to the top on foot, taking about 2 hours through mostly shaded forest paths.
