Salober

Salober is a 1293 meter high mountain and forms the highest point of the Falkensteinkamm ridge between Füssen and Pfronten. The massif features forested slopes that open into meadows near the summit.

The name Salober derives from the Latin word salūber, evolving over time from the older designation Zaluber. The alternative name Zwölferkopf references the mountain's noon-time positioning relative to the surrounding landscape.

The Salober Alm mountain hut maintains traditional Alpine customs by serving regional meals and operating without modern payment systems.

The marked trail from Falkenstein ruins to the summit is part of the Via Alpina long-distance route. The hike passes through forest and meadows with adequate water sources and rest spots along the way.

From the top you can see four lakes at once: Weißensee, Hopfensee, Forggensee, and Bannwaldsee spread across the landscape below. The summit marks the border between Bavaria and Tyrol, offering a view that spans two regions simultaneously.
