Geigelstein

The Geigelstein rises to 1808 meters above sea level and features steep slopes with numerous hiking trails leading to its cross-marked summit plateau.

The mountain paths around Geigelstein developed from cattle drive routes, which farmers used for centuries to move livestock between valley pastures and alpine meadows.

Local mountain huts, including Wirtsalm and Priener Hutte, maintain traditional Bavarian customs by serving regional food and hosting seasonal alpine celebrations.

Hikers can access Geigelstein through multiple trailheads from Sachrang, Schleching, or Walchsee, with the main routes taking approximately four hours to reach the top.

Between December and May, specific zones of Geigelstein remain closed to preserve wildlife habitats, making it one of Bavaria's protected mountain environments.
