May 9, 2026,Geisingberg (8232dm) 🏔️ und Tiefenbach-Wasserfall

Today, the 2nd eight-thousander, Geisingberg, was on our program. We already knew it from previous hikes, so anticipation was high.

From the parking lot at the ski lift in Altenberg, we hiked on familiar paths past the Pinge to the Geisingberg, which was visible from afar.
Upon reaching the summit, we used the Luisenturm for a beautiful view of the …

January 8, 2022,1/14 8000er: Altenberg❄ - Geisingberg 🔼🍝🍵 - Geising ☃️- Tiefenbacher Wasserfall - Altenberg❄

As a post-corona training today we wanted to climb the Geisingberg and thus conquer the first of the 14 8000er mountains 😉. We started in Altenberg, where there is plenty of parking (behind the train station the day ticket costs € 5.00, from 2:00 p.m. € 3.00). First we headed for the tourist information, where we received great advice with …

Today we went on a hike from Altenberg to Geisingberg. It was a shame that the lodge was closed and we couldn't go up the observation tower.
On to Geising and then to the waterfall.

August 17, 2021,Hinauf zum Geisingberg🐐⛰ (Erzgebirge) (41/21)

I love the Ore Mountains, the signage is well developed (some hiking regions can cut a slice of it) and there are often benches and shelters to take a break.
I have been to the Geisingberg very often, the small rustic hut is highly recommended and if you are not afraid of heights, you have an excellent view from the …
