Location

The Geißkopf lies near the village of Bischofsmais in the Breitenau, a region to which Breitenauriegel, Dreitannenriegel and Einödriegel also belong.

Tourism

The mountain has been managed since the 1960s as a local recreation area. As well as walking, there is a 1,142-metre-long chair lift which was opened in 1967/68, 3 long and 3 short drag lifts with 9 pistes as well as a sommerrodelbahn and winter toboggan runs. In the summer mountain bikes may be transported on the chair lift and there are 12 descents in the bike park. At the summit is a mountain restaurant and a 23-metre-high wooden observation tower, which enables a good, all-round view of the Rear Bavarian Forest. There is also a transmission antenna for broadcasting the radio programmes of "Unser Radio Regen" on 89.3 MHz with a transmit power of 200 W ERP.[2] It is thus one of the few wooden towers that broadcasts radio programmes today.

A few hundred metres from the top is the Oberbreitenau, a formerly settled clearance. Today it is home to the Landshuter Haus, managed by the Bavarian Forest Club.

gollark: Hmm. I really wonder *what* palaiologos's code does. It could probably have uploaded secret bee neuron data to palaiologos' server and nobody would know.
gollark: Maybe someone should make a PR with hyperfast ultrayes.
gollark: See, this is bad because it presumably runs below 3GB/s.
gollark: Maybe it would be easier to just run it a lot, and calculate the time complexity.
gollark: I can't actually understand this.
