Osser, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany and Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic.

The Osser mountain rises to 1292 meters with its crystalline schist formation creating two distinct peaks along the German-Czech border.

During the 12th century, the Osserburg castle stood on this mountain, though no remnants of the structure remain visible today.

The mountain's dual peaks led local residents to name it the 'breasts of the mother of God' while others call it the 'Matterhorn of Bavarian Forest'.

Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from Lohberg, Silbersbach, Lam, Sattelparkplatz, and Lambach, requiring solid footwear for rocky terrain.

The Haus Willmann mountain hut, managed by the Bavarian Forest Club, provides summer accommodations at the mountain's highest point.
