Farrenpoint, Mountain summit in Bad Feilnbach, Germany.
Farrenpoint is a mountain summit in the northern Alps near Bad Feilnbach, standing at 1,273 meters in elevation. The peak offers open views from its ridge with natural vantage points across the surrounding landscape.
The sources record no founding event or survey history for Farrenpoint; its documented past is one of pasture use. The Huber-Alm lies just below the wooded summit, and the southern slope is covered with alpine meadows, evidence of alpine farming on this flank of the ridge. The summit cross marks the top, reached from the Schlipfgrub-Alm via the Hansen-Alm and Walch-Alm in about ninety minutes.
The Huber-Alm lies just below the summit, on the alpine meadows that cover the top and south slope. The name Farrenpoint is documented in Bavarian dialect literature, including J. Höfer's "Der Sulzberg und die Farrenpoint" in the series Bairisch gredt. Hikers pass the Schlipfgrub-Alm, Hansen-Alm and Walch-Alm on the southern approach.
Walking times to the summit are about one and a half to two hours from Bad Feilnbach, Altofing, Kutterling and Litzldorf to the north. From the Schlipfgrub-Alm the route runs via the Hansen-Alm and Walch-Alm and takes about one and a half hours. The summit area and south slope are covered with alpine pasture, and the Huber-Alm lies just below the top.
The summit area is fully wooded and topped by a summit cross, while the southern slope below carries alpine meadow where the Huber-Alm sits just under the top. The ridge running north from the Hochsalwand ends here, after passing the Rampoldplatte and the 1,214 m Mitterberg. The peak lies 1.7 km from the Rampoldplatte.
