Kampen

Kampen, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany

Description

Kampen is a mountain in Bavaria featuring four peaks arranged along a limestone ridge at approximately 1,600 meters elevation. The rocky faces display layered formations that are visible from many angles around the peak.

History

The mountain was developed in the early 1900s when local climbers established several routes up its slopes. This effort helped shape alpine mountaineering in Bavaria during the following decades.

Culture

The mountain lies within a region where traditional Bavarian mountain festivals occur annually, drawing participants from surrounding Alpine communities.

Practical

Marked trails lead to the peak from Lenggries and Bad Wiessee, with parking available at both starting points. Both routes are well-signaled and accessible to experienced hikers.

Did you know?

The rock layers visible on the mountain date back to the Triassic period, creating a window into ancient geology. Hikers can observe these colorful stratified formations clearly while climbing.
