Kneifelspitze, Mountain summit in Berchtesgadener Land, Germany
The Kneifelspitze mountain rises to 1,188.7 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and clear paths through the Northern Salzburg Alps section.
The mountain gained recognition during the 19th century when local shepherds established the first marked trails leading to its limestone peak formation.
The Maria Gern chapel near the mountain base serves as a meeting point for regional celebrations and traditional Bavarian mountain festivals throughout summer.
Hikers can reach the summit via a 6.4-kilometer trail starting from Maria Gern parking lot, with the ascent taking approximately 2.5 hours.
From the Kneifelspitze summit plateau, visitors observe the intersection of three mountain ranges: Berchtesgaden Alps, Northern Salzburg Alps, and Untersberg group.
