Geiersberg, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany

Geiersberg is a mountain summit in the Spessart range at 586 meters elevation, surrounded by dense forest and natural rock outcrops. The summit sits among wooded slopes and rocky terrain that shape the local landscape.

The summit area is topped by two transmission towers of the Breitsol transmitter, the taller a 124-metre hybrid tower with a steel lattice lower section and a guyed lattice upper part. Until December 2008 it carried a 7-tonne television antenna in a fibre-reinforced plastic cylinder; broadcasts moved to the Pfaffenberg that November and the site was shut down. About 300 metres north, three old concrete foundations stand in the forest, possibly remains of an earlier military mast.

The name Breitsol refers to the hamlet of Bischbrunn where the transmitter stands, while Geiersberg is the older name of the whole wooded hill. The summit cross on the 586 m north-northeast rise is reached by a farm track, and the two transmitter towers of Sender Breitsol dominate the southern rise 400 m away.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from various starting points, with parking areas at the base for visitors. The routes are clearly marked and range from easy to moderate walks depending on which path you choose.

The summit is densely wooded and offers no view at all, contrary to what its height might suggest. The two barely perceptible rises of the flat summit region lie 400 metres apart, and the higher one carries a summit cross reached by a forestry track. About 300 metres north of the transmitter stand three old concrete foundations in the forest, possibly remains of an earlier military radio mast.
