Many myths and legends entwine around the third highest mountain in the Bavarian Forest National Park - the Lusen (1,373 meters). The devil himself is said to have played a role in the creation of this popular excursion mountain ...

The granite dome on the summit (one of the 100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria) and the breathtaking view of the Bavarian Forest, on a clear day even as far as the Alpine ridge, are impressive.

The summit of the Lusens can be reached via well-developed hiking trails in summer and winter. On the ascent you can discover such mystical and beautiful places as the Teufelsloch, the Martinsklause, the Himmelsleiter or the fascinating Glass Arche.

These many "green" stones on the summit are simply impressive and absolutely worth seeing. It's not only great fun for children to climb up here and admire the great natural spectacle.

One of the most impressive rock formations in the Bavarian Forest National Park and at the same time a well-known geological attraction is the Blockmeer at the summit of the Lusen. Granite blocks pile up wildly on an area of more than 200,000 square meters. This block field owes its formation to frost weathering during the Quaternary period
