Taubenberg

Taubenberg is a mountain in Bavaria's Miesbach district that rises to 896 meters and is divided at its base by the Farnbach valley system. The peak displays northern and southern ridges that shape the local topography and provide a framework for different routes across the slopes.

This mountain formed approximately 10 to 15 million years ago through debris flows from upper freshwater molasse during the Alpine orogeny. The geological processes that created it shaped the current character of this entire region.

The hiking routes here connect several local communities and serve as gathering places where residents walk together through the forested slopes. These well-used paths form part of the everyday rhythm of the surrounding villages and reflect how people have moved through this landscape for a long time.

Much of this mountain falls under Munich's administration and serves as an important water supply source for the city approximately 50 kilometers away. Visitors can expect well-maintained trails that remain accessible year-round and provide straightforward access to the higher elevations.

The mountain's east-west orientation marks a geological boundary that separates different landscape zones of the Bavarian Alpine foothills. This position makes it a useful reference point for understanding the larger structure of the terrain you see from various elevations.
