Falkenstein, Mountain summit in Pfronten, Germany
The Falkenstein mountain reaches a height of 1,315 meters within the Bavarian Forest National Park, featuring steep cliffs and dense vegetation throughout its slopes.
The mountain's name originates from medieval times when falcons nested in its rocky outcrops, leading German settlers to call it 'falcon stone' in their language.
Local mountaineering clubs maintain several marked trails across Falkenstein, organizing regular group expeditions that connect residents with their natural heritage.
Visitors can access the summit through four different marked paths named Heidelbeere, Eibe, Silberblatt, and Esche, with the ascent taking approximately two hours.
The Falkenstein-Schutzhaus mountain hut at the peak accommodates 60 guests, operating daily during summer and weekends in winter since its construction in 1932.
