Bussen, Mountain summit in Biberach district, Germany.
Bussen mountain rises 767 meters above sea level, forming a natural landmark between the Swabian Alb and Upper Swabia regions.
The mountain served as an imperial castle site owned by the Hohenstaufen dynasty until Swedish troops destroyed it during the Thirty Years' War in 1633.
The pilgrimage church on the summit, first documented in 805 during Charlemagne's reign, continues to draw religious visitors from across Upper Swabia.
Multiple hiking routes surround the mountain, including an easy 2.89-kilometer loop trail with 70 meters elevation gain, suitable for all skill levels.
The mountain classifies as a Nunatak, standing above glacial ice during the Ice Age, with its peak protected by an 8-meter layer of Sylvana limestone.
