Edelsberg, Mountain peak in Allgäu Alps, Germany.

Edelsberg is a 1,630-metre mountain at the northeastern edge of the Allgäu Alps, rising directly above Nesselwang to the north, Pfronten to the east and Jungholz to the southwest. Its summit, a southern endpoint of Bavaria's first main triangulation network, lies about 600 metres south of the lower Alpspitz (1,575 m). A pavilion stands a few metres southeast of the top.

In 1888 the Falkenstein-Pfronten section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club built an open shelter hut on the Edelsberg against bad weather. The summit was one of the southern endpoints of the first Bavarian main triangulation network. The pavilion now standing a few metres southeast of the summit was rebuilt on the historic model as a joint Interreg project of Jungholz and Nesselwang and inaugurated in September 2014.

The pavilion a few metres southeast of the summit is a weather shelter rebuilt on the model of the open shelter hut that the Falkenstein-Pfronten section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club erected here in 1888. A joint Interreg project of Jungholz and Nesselwang rebuilt it, and it was inaugurated in September 2014.

The mountain can be approached from several starting points around Nesselwang and Pfronten, each offering different route lengths and difficulty levels. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for weather changes that happen quickly at altitude.

The shelter on the Edelsberg is a pavilion, not a chapel: an open "Unterstands-Hütte gegen die Unbill der Witterung" was already standing here in 1888, built by the Falkenstein-Pfronten section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club. The present pavilion, a few metres southeast of the summit, was rebuilt to the historic model as a joint Interreg project of Jungholz and Nesselwang and inaugurated in September 2014.
