Edelweißlahnerkopf

The Edelweißlahnerkopf rises to 1953 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces and snowfields within the Berchtesgadener Alps mountain range.

The mountain stands as a natural boundary marker between Bavaria and the Salzburger region, marking territorial divisions since the establishment of modern German states.

Local climbing traditions emphasize reaching the summit's monumental cross, which reflects the regional connection between mountaineering and religious practices.

Hikers need proper equipment and good physical condition to navigate the unmarked sections of trail, particularly during winter months when snow covers the paths.

From the peak, visitors can see the Watzmann, Hochkalter, and even the distant Großglockner mountains under clear weather conditions.
