Hiking
The name of Rachel is said to come from the Celtic and mean "rough". For the effort of the ascent, however, you will be rewarded with fantastic views of the Bavarian Forest and the Bohemian Forest.

Hiking
The view from the summit stretches far across the Middle Bavarian Forest and across to the Bohemian Forest on the Czech side. The magnificent panorama ranges from the Osser and Arber in the north-west to the Dreisesselberg in the south-east.
With the influence of the foehn, the chain of the Alps from the Dead Mountains to the Zugspitze can also be seen. Because of its good view, the Great Rachel is heavily frequented on nice days.
