Plattenhausenriegel, Mountain summit in Bavarian Forest, Germany

The Plattenhausenriegel rises to 1372 meters above sea level, featuring stone formations and stands of dead trees at its peak within the national park.

Two Czechoslovak MiG-15 jets crashed near Plattenhausenriegel in June 1963, leading to the establishment of a memorial site called Pilotenmarterl.

The mountain forms part of the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic, where traditional boundary stones display Bavarian white-blue rhomboid patterns.

Hiking access to Plattenhausenriegel starts at Fredenbrücke parking lot in Neuschönau, covering 18 kilometers with 850 meters of elevation gain over six hours.

The border path through Plattenhausenriegel remains closed to public access from November 16 to July 14 due to environmental protection measures.
