Maiwand

Maiwand is a mountain summit in the Mangfall range of Bavaria, rising to 1,135 meters (3,724 feet). It displays limestone formations from the Jura period and sits east of the Grosser Riesenkopf within the Wendelsteingebiet area.

The mountain formed over millions of years through geological processes, with Jura limestone representing the oldest visible rock layers. The summit is part of an ancient landscape shaped by natural forces and remains largely unchanged.

The paths here serve as meeting points for local hiking groups who regularly organize tours of varying difficulty levels. Visitors encounter people who have known and used this terrain for many years.

The southwest hiking path to the summit is rated T5 on the SAC scale, while eastern faces require technical climbing skills. Visitors of different experience levels can choose routes that match their abilities.

This summit sits in a less crowded area of the Bavarian foothills and draws significantly fewer visitors than nearby better-known peaks. This makes it a quieter destination for those seeking solitude in the mountains.
