Högl, Mountain peak in Bavaria, Germany

Högl is a densely wooded ridge in the Flysch Alps of the Rupertiwinkel region, stretching about 8 km northwest to southeast and up to 4 km wide. Its highest point reaches 827 m near Anger, and its eastern spur ends at the Saalach river on the German-Austrian border. A 157 m radio mast stands about 50 m from the summit.

From the 18th to the early 20th century, Högler sandstone was quarried on the Högl. In its heyday the stone was used in Salzburg's Erhardkirche and the Salzburg Residenz, as well as for farmhouse door frames and window surrounds. Quarrying ceased at the beginning of the 20th century; a restored quarry can be visited near the Ulrichshögl shooting club in Ainring.

The Högl lies in the Rupertiwinkel, and its slopes hold several churches: the Gothic St. Johann on the Johannishögl (700 m, Piding) and St. Ulrich at Ulrichshögl (Ainring). At the foot of the ridge in Ainring stands St. Laurentius. Since 2007 the Ainringer Kreuzweg, a Stations of the Cross path on the way up to St. Ulrich, is dedicated to Pope Benedict XVI.

The Högl ridge is reached on signposted trails from both its north and south sides; the BGL 7 road climbs the south to west flank to about 650 m at Reinprecht, where side roads branch off toward the Neubichler Alm, Strobl Alm and Johannishögl. The Strobl-Alm inn sits at 753 m with views of the Chiemgau Alps, and a Kneipp water-treading facility stands near the Ainring Kreuzweg at the start of the climb to St. Ulrich.

The 157-metre transmission mast of Deutsche Telekom stands about 50 metres from the highest point, at roughly 778 metres, and is the tallest structure in the Berchtesgadener Land district. It also broadcasts Austrian television channels.
