Wildalpjoch, Alpine summit in Bavaria, Germany
Description
Wildalpjoch is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Alps that rises to 1720 meters and commands views across surrounding peaks and valleys. The terrain features open alpine meadows and rocky slopes accessible by established hiking trails.
History
The paths to this summit originated in the 19th century when local farmers created routes to move livestock between valley pastures. These herding trails remain the foundation of today's hiking routes.
Culture
German mountaineers regularly gather at Wildalpjoch's summit cross, following the regional tradition of documenting their ascents in a metal container logbook.
