Hochstaufen, Mountain peak in Chiemgau Alps, Bavaria, Germany.
The Hochstaufen rises to an elevation of 1,771 meters, forming the easternmost summit of the Chiemgau Alps with its limestone formations and rocky terrain.
Mining activities took place at Hochstaufen during the 17th century, with the Doktor-Oswald-Gallery operating just 60 meters below the mountain summit.
The Steinerne Jager rock formations carry a traditional tale of two hunters who turned to stone after choosing hunting over religious obligations.
The mountain offers multiple hiking routes from Bad Reichenhall and Piding, including the challenging Pidinger Klettersteig fixed rope route established in 2003.
Several seismometers monitor the mountain's unusual seismic activity, which intensifies following periods of substantial rainfall.
