Breitenauriegel, Mountain summit in Bavarian Forest, Germany.

Breitenauriegel is a 1,116 m high mountain in the Vorderer Bavarian Forest near Bischofsmais, rising between the Geißkopf and Dreitannenriegel. At its highest point stands a summit rock with a metal summit cross and a view to the northwest towards Gotteszell. North of the summit, towards the Geißkopf, lies the Oberbreitenau plateau.

A mountain rescue service hut was built approximately 750 meters southeast of the peak to support visitors and climbers. This structure reflects how the region developed safety infrastructure to serve growing mountain tourism.

The mountain connects nearby villages through established walking routes that locals have used for generations. These traditional paths shape how people in the region spend their leisure time and move between communities.

You can reach the summit from several directions including Habischried, Bischofsmais, Rusel, and Rohrmünz, with routes suited to different fitness levels. The trails are well-maintained and take varying amounts of time depending on your starting point.

The summit rock carries a metal summit cross and gives a view northwest towards Gotteszell. About 750 metres southeast of the top stands a service hut of the Deggendorf mountain rescue branch. Peak and much of the slopes lie in the Deggendorfer Vorwald conservation area.
