Hennenkobel, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany.

The Hennenkobel rises to an elevation of 965 meters within the Bavarian Forest, featuring granite formations and dense pine tree coverage throughout its slopes.

The mountain's name derives from medieval German farming traditions, referring to its shape that locals compared to a hen's rounded peak in earlier centuries.

Local residents maintain traditional mountain ceremonies at Hennenkobel during solstices, continuing practices that connect present-day communities with regional mountain customs.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from Zwiesel, with the eastern path providing the most direct route during spring and summer months.

The mountain contains several natural granite formations that create distinct echoing effects when wind passes through specific rock configurations near the peak.
