Lusen, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany

The 1373-meter granite mountain Lusen rises within the Bavarian Forest National Park, featuring a field of granite stones called Blockmeer on its slopes.

The mountain's name appears on Bavaria's oldest known map from 1523 by Johannes Aventinus, with linguistic origins traced to Celtic settlements.

A large cross stands at the peak, placed by Catholic youth in 1947, with a Jesus statue added in 2008 after the cross underwent repairs from lightning damage.

Hikers can start from Waldhausreibe lodge, choosing between summer and winter trails that take 75 minutes to reach the summit from the starting point.

The mountain's forest underwent natural regeneration after bark beetle damage in the 1990s, creating a new ecosystem different from traditional timber forests.
