An ascent that is worthwhile. You have a 360 ° panoramic view up here.

If you have already made it up here to the summit of the Geißkopf, then, if allowed, you should also take the steps up to the viewing platform. For this you are rewarded with a grandiose all-round view.

In April 2023 I was able to climb the tower. At the top there is a magnificent view of the Arber and the other high peaks of the rear Bavarian Forest. The individual peaks are named on a metal plaque on the parapet.

At the summit of the Geißkopf (1097 m) is an observation tower offering a wonderful panoramic view of the Bavarian Forest and its other mountains. It offers a stunning view of the border mountains: the Kaitersberg, the Osser, the Grosser Arber, the Falkenstein, the Lusen, and the Rachel, all the way to the Dreisessel.
