Besler

Besler mountain rises to 1,679 meters above sea level, featuring a central peak and western summit known as Schafkopf at 1,602 meters.

The Königsweg trail to Besler summit received its name from King Max II of Bavaria who frequented these paths during his mountain expeditions.

The mountain paths display traditional Bavarian hiking routes, connecting the settlements of Obermaiselstein with Balderschwang and extending toward Austrian Vorarlberg.

Four primary access points lead to Besler: Obermaiselstein at 859 meters, Tiefenbach at 880 meters, Rohrmoos at 1,070 meters, and Grasgehren at 1,450 meters.

The southern face of Besler contains distinctive karst formations and sedimentary rock from Helvetic Chalk, setting it apart in the Allgäu Alps region.
