Hirschberg

Overview

HIRSCHBERG is a wide mountain in the Bavarian Alps in Germany. It arises southwest of Tegernsee. The village at the feet of the mountain is SCHARLING. HIRSCHBERG is climbed the whole year, especially in winter by ski, because it is the one of populariest skiing-summits for the area of Munich the capitol of Bavaria. All the routes to HIRSCHBERG are short and undifficult to find, and the big summit-cross, the wondeful view of the Toelzer Alps and the western summits around Schliersee and Spitzingsee contribute to the popularity of the summit. HIRSCHBERG is one of the classic bavarian summits.
