Salober, Summit in Füssen, Germany.
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.
The summit is the highest point of the Falkensteinkamm ridge, yet the name Salober on the Bavarian ATK25 map belongs to this 1293 m top, while the Austrian ÖK50 places a Zwölferkopf here and puts the Salober name on a 1177 m point 1000 m west. The Saloberalpe below the summit, on Austrian soil, long belonged to the city of Füssen as a Voralpe.
