Hiking
The summit cross of the Großer Arber stands on the main summit of the highest mountain in the Bavarian Forest at an altitude of 1,456 meters. It is located directly on the distinctive summit rock, right next to the widely visible, round Bundeswehr radar stations. From the wooden cross, there is a magnificent 360-degree panoramic view over the entire Bavarian-Bohemian border region, the Bavarian Forest National Park, and, in good weather, even as far as the Alps.

Ski touring
At 1456m, the Arber is the highest point in the Bavarian Forest and is therefore also called the "Roof of the Bavarian Forest". A summit cross is, of course, part of the local culture. From here, especially at sunset, you have a wonderful panoramic view across the Bavarian Forest.
