Geißhorn

The Geißhorn rises to an elevation of 2,366 meters, presenting a distinct profile along the border between Bavaria and Vorarlberg regions.

Local mountaineers established the first documented routes to the Geißhorn summit during the systematic exploration of the Allgäu Alps in the 1800s.

The mountain territory reflects the intersection of German and Austrian alpine traditions, with shepherds maintaining centuries-old grazing practices in surrounding meadows.

Hikers reach the summit through a 9.9-kilometer trail from Vilsalpsee, requiring solid alpine experience and approximately five hours of climbing time.

The mountain creates a natural observation point where visitors can simultaneously view landscapes of two countries while standing at the exact border line.
