Barmsteine, Rock pinnacle formation in Marktschellenberg, Austria and Hallein, Germany.
The Barmsteine consist of two limestone towers reaching 780 meters in elevation, spanning 850 meters in length and 60 meters in width.
During World War II, the galleries within the Barmsteine served as storage facilities for a local brewery and were used for armament production.
The Small Barmstein hosts an annual Maypole raising tradition since 1815, when Archduchess Marie Leopoldine acquired the Hofbräu Kaltenhausen brewery.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to both peaks, with steel cables and artificial steps installed in certain sections to assist climbers.
The rock formation contains the Katzenbarmsteine on the southern ridge of the Small Barmstein, which includes a dedicated area for boulder climbing.
