Hirschberg

Hirschberg is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Fore-alps south of Lake Tegernsee, reaching approximately 1,660 meters high and part of the Mangfallgebirge range. The peak can be approached from several directions and features a mountain restaurant located partway up at around 1,520 meters elevation.

The mountain has long served as a crossing point in the local path system connecting settlements across the Mangfallgebirge region. Over time, these pathways developed into organized hiking routes that connected communities and later attracted visitors from elsewhere.

Mountain huts scattered along the trails maintain Bavarian dining customs where visitors can taste regional dishes and local beer. These places reflect how the region's mountain culture shapes eating and socializing habits.

The mountain is accessible from various starting points such as Scharling, Kreuth, or Bad Wiessee, each offering different route options for different hiking abilities. The mountain restaurant along the way provides refreshment and rest stops, which helps break up the hike into manageable sections.

In winter the slopes feature a toboggan run that descends into the valleys below, offering a completely different way to experience the mountain. Summer visitors find viewing spots scattered across the summit area that reveal distant views of the surrounding landscape.
