Fuderheuberg, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany.
Fuderheuberg is a mountain summit in Bavaria that rises to about 1,350 meters and features steep rocky paths with varied mountain vegetation. The slopes display changing landscapes, ranging from forested areas to open sections.
The name Fuderheuberg comes from its shape: the wooded, rounded massif resembles a Fuder, a wagonload of hay. The summit cross stands on the Fuderheustein, a rock outcrop at 1,321 m, while the highest point at 1,350 m lies toward the Hochstaufen and is unsuited to a cross because of the tree cover. Marked routes reach the summit from Piding via the Staufenbrücke or Mauthausen/Schloss Staufeneck, and from Bad Reichenhall via the Padinger Alm.
