Stümpfling, Mountain summit in the Schlierseer Berge, Bavaria, Germany
The Stümpfling is a 1,506-metre mountain in the Schlierseer Berge range of the Bavarian Prealps, in the Mangfallgebirge. It can be climbed on an easy mountain walk from the Spitzingsee lake or from the Wildbach Hut. The Suttenbahn and Stümpflingbahn chairlifts run up to just below the summit.
The mountain was developed as a winter sports destination through the installation of ski lifts in the mid-20th century. This infrastructure made the location an important point in Bavaria's mountain recreation landscape.
The area hosts traditional Bavarian mountain huts where visitors can stop for local food and drinks. These huts have been gathering places for people enjoying the mountains for generations.
Hikers can reach the summit via several routes, with a popular path starting from Spitzingsattel and taking a few hours. Good footwear and weather protection are important since mountain weather can change quickly.
Near the top station of the Stümpflingbahn lift, a whisky warehouse of the Slyrs distillery was inaugurated in December 2014. It holds up to 40 casks of 225 litres each, and the mountain climate is meant to give the whisky a different taste from that stored in the valley.
