Geißkopf, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany

The Geißkopf is a 1,097.4-metre mountain near Bischofsmais in the Breitenau area of the Bavarian Forest. Its summit holds a mountain restaurant and a 23-metre wooden observation tower, and a 1,142-metre chairlift opened in 1967/68 runs up the slope.

The Geißkopf has been developed for tourism since the 1960s. A 1,142-metre chairlift opened in 1967/68, followed by three long and three short drag lifts serving nine pistes. The Landshuter Haus on the Oberbreitenau clearance, a few hundred metres from the summit, is run by the Bavarian Forest Club.

The Landshuter Haus, a few hundred metres from the summit on the Oberbreitenau clearing, is run by the Bayerischer Wald-Verein, the Bavarian Forest Club. The Oberbreitenau was once a settled clearing. A mountain restaurant also stands at the summit beside the wooden tower.

Lift systems including a chairlift and multiple drag lifts help visitors access the mountain efficiently. Prepare appropriate footwear for hiking or skis depending on the season, and check weather conditions beforehand.

The 23-metre wooden observation tower on the summit also carries a transmitter for "Unser Radio Regen" on 89.3 MHz at 200 W ERP. This makes it one of the few wooden towers still broadcasting radio programmes today.
