Spitzstein, Mountain summit in Chiemgau Alps, Germany and Austria
Located at the border between Bavaria and Tyrol, Spitzstein rises to an elevation of 1,596 meters with multiple access paths from different directions.
The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between Bavaria and Tyrol since the territorial divisions of the Habsburg Empire in the 18th century.
Four mountain huts around Spitzstein provide traditional Alpine food and regional specialties, maintaining the mountain hospitality customs of the Chiemgau region.
The summit can be reached through a 45-minute hike from Altkaser Alm, with parking facilities available at the Goglalm lot near Erl.
The mountain features two summit crosses, one representing Bavaria and one for Tyrol, marking the exact border between Germany and Austria.
