Fagstein

The Fagstein mountain rises to 2164 meters within the Berchtesgaden Alps, presenting steep slopes and grass-covered terrain on its upper sections.

The paths around Fagstein developed through centuries of Alpine exploration, with local shepherds establishing the first routes across its challenging landscape.

German mountaineering traditions continue at Fagstein through organized group climbs and seasonal celebrations at designated rest points along the trails.

Hikers can reach the summit through a marked 19.3-kilometer trail starting from the Hinterbrand parking area at 1100 meters elevation.
