Geißhorn, Mountain peak in Allgäu Alps, Germany and Austria.
Description
Geißhorn is a mountain peak in the Allgäu Alps rising to 2,366 meters at the border between Bavaria and Vorarlberg. The two regional sides offer different slope profiles and access routes to reach the summit area.
History
Mountaineers developed the route to the summit during systematic exploration of the Allgäu Alps in the 1800s. These climbers documented their pathways and contributed to understanding the alpine region.
Culture
The mountain sits where Bavarian and Vorarlberg Alpine traditions meet. Both sides show different approaches to meadow management and how people interact with the high grasslands.
Practical
Reaching the summit demands confidence on steep slopes and solid mountain knowledge. Hikers should be ready for sudden weather changes and always check conditions before setting out.
