Hornburg, Mountain summit in Schwangau, Germany.
The Hornburg summit rises 1,101 meters above sea level, offering views of Neuschwanstein Castle, Schwangau town, and the surrounding Allgäu region.
Explorers and photographers first documented the mountain paths and vantage points around Hornburg during expeditions in October and November 2006.
The trail system includes information boards detailing local geology, particularly noting the marble sources used in constructing Neuschwanstein Castle.
