Ludwig Tower (Hahnenkamm)

Highlight • Viewpoint

So far, the tower was always open. Should he ever be closed - the key is in the mountain inn.

Tips from the Community

December 21, 2025, Gipfelkreuz Kahl

In 2018, the Bavarian State Survey Office determined that Bavaria's lowest mountain is located in the Kahl district. This was publicized by Bavarian Television in the series "Home of Records." Anyone wishing to hike to or visit the Birkenkopf will indeed have a very difficult time... just finding it. The hill lies at exactly 120 meters above sea level, in the middle of a private forest belonging to Emmerichshofen. Assuming the average elevation of the municipality of Kahl is 110 meters above sea level, the "ascent" to the Birkenkopf is actually a mere 10 meters. (Excerpt from kahl-main.de) Currently (December 2025), there are no signposts to the summit. A summit cross was erected in 2023.

The name of the mountain ⛰️ is: "Birkenkopf" and not "Bunkerkopf" !!!!

It is quite common to find a cross on a mountaintop.

For some, however, it is one of the most beautiful peaks.

At the northernmost point of Bavaria, in Lower Franconia 😜, Bavaria's smallest mountain has been officially opened up 😳 in the district of Kahl am Main. At the foot of the Spessart hills, in a somewhat secluded location, a summit cross was erected after the first ascent by Mayor Jürgen Seitz, castle owner Ulrike Waitz, and District Administrator Dr. Alexander Legler. From now on, everyone can climb the summit ⛰️ and sign the summit register 👍🏼. Somewhat hidden, you'll need a compass 🧭, a GPS device, or simply Komoot to reach it 😄, ☝🏼 but it's worth it – endless vistas await you on the border with Hesse 😂.
