The Gallner (Gallner Berg:710 m) is a mountain ridge near Konzell in the Bavarian Forest that runs from west to east between the valley of the Kinsach in the west and the Menach valley. The E8 European long distance path runs over it.

Name[]

The mountain is called the Gallner because it was used as a mountain pasture for heifers (German: Galtvieh). An old form of the name of the ridge in the early 18th century was Goldner.[1]

Description[]

The mountain is unusual in having three almost equally high summits or kuppen: the Gallner Berg (710 m)(
