Feuerpalven, Mountain viewpoint in Berchtesgaden Alps, Germany.

Feuerpalven, also written Feuerpalfen, is a viewing platform on a rocky outcrop just below the 1741 m Warreck in the Gotzen Mountains of the Berchtesgaden Alps, 1125 m above Königssee. A railing at the edge frames the east face of the Watzmann and the view down to St. Bartholomä on the opposite shore. It lies a few minutes' walk from the managed Gotzenalm.

The Feuerpalfen is a viewing ledge just below the 1741 m Warreck, 1125 m above Königssee in the Gotzen Mountains of the Berchtesgaden Alps. It lies a few walking minutes from the managed Gotzenalm. It is reached from the Salet boat landing via the Kaunersteig, which requires sure-footedness, and the Regenalm, or from the Kessel landing via the Gotzentalalm; without a boat, a route leads from Königssee village over the Königsbachalm.

The name Feuerpalfen, also written Feuerpalven, is used for the railed viewing platform a few minutes' walk from the managed Gotzenalm. The site is a popular destination for mountain bikers as well as hikers, who reach it via the Kaunersteig from Salet or the Gotzentalalm from Kessel. From the railing, visitors look across to the Watzmann east face and down to St. Bartholomä on the far shore of Königssee.

The viewpoint sits at 1,125 m above Königssee, a few minutes from the managed Gotzenalm. Access is from Salet landing via the Kaunersteig, which requires sure-footedness, or from Kessel landing via the Gotzentalalm; without a boat, a route leads from Königssee village over the Königsbachalm. The Feuerpalfen and Gotzenalm are also popular with mountain bikers.

The summit edge drops almost straight down roughly 1100 meters to Königssee, one of Germany's deepest lakes. This extreme vertical exposure creates a powerful sense of height that few other spots in the Bavarian Alps provide.
