Gallner, Mountain summit in Konzell, Germany

Gallner is a mountain ridge in the Bavarian Forest running west to east between the Kinsach and Menach valleys. The landform displays three separate peaks, with the highest point reaching 710 meters (2,329 feet).

In the early 18th century, the ridge carried the name Goldner before it evolved into its current form as Gallner. This name change reflects how geographical designations developed across the region over time.

The ridge's name comes from Galtvieh, the German word for young cattle kept off milk production, which grazed these slopes as a Bergweide. An early 18th-century form of the name was Goldner. Northwest of the Gallner Berg summit, at about 630 metres, the farmstead of Gallner belongs to Konzell and holds the late 15th-century daughter church of Saint Sixtus.

The European long-distance trail E8 crosses the Gallner summit, offering established access points for hikers exploring the Bavarian Forest terrain. Well-marked paths connect the ridge passage to surrounding valleys, allowing flexible route options.

The ridge has three nearly equal summits: Gallner Berg (710 m), Kühleite (704 m) and Blumerberg (682 m). Northwest of the main summit, at about 630 metres, lies the hamlet of Gallner with the late 15th-century daughter church of Saint Sixtus.
