Giebel, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany
Giebel is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Alps reaching approximately 1,950 meters (6,400 feet) above sea level. It forms part of a ridge system that extends northeast from Laufbacher Eck and features steep slopes with rocky sections and forested areas.
Local climbers established the first routes up the mountain through steep grassy slopes and rocky passages. The peak became recognized as a technical challenge within the broader alpine region of Bavaria.
The mountain shares botanical characteristics with neighboring peaks Höfats and Schneck, featuring a triangular shape with sections covered in dense forest.
Reaching the summit requires advanced mountaineering skills due to the absence of marked trails and steep terrain. Most ascent routes begin from Feldalpe and cross unmarked mountain territory with challenging rock sections.
The ridge connecting Giebel to Berggächtle and Laufbacher Eck offers a technically demanding traverse that attracts experienced mountaineers. The route demands careful footwork and comfort on exposed rock with significant drop-offs on both sides.
