Brotjacklriegel
Seen from the River Danube, the Brotjacklriegel is the first high mountain in the Bavarian Forest. It is and lies in the county of Freyung-Grafenau in the German federal state of Bavaria. It is a symbol of the Sonnenwald region which comprises the municipalities of Schöfweg, Zenting, Innernzell, Grattersdorf and Market Schöllnach. Name According to legend, the Brotjacklriegel owes its name to a baker, ''Brotjackl'' (EN: "Bread-Jacky"), who is supposed to have hidden on the mountain during the Thirty Years' War. However, the name probably only came into being later during survey work by the French under Napoleon when because of a misunderstanding of the Bavarian "Broada Jaga-Riegl" (Breiter Jägerriegel; EN: Broad Hunter's Sill) the name ''Brotjacklriegel'' was written down. History As early as 1839 the parish priest and two publicans from Langfurth built the first viewing tower. In 1924 the present 27-metre-high construction was built. Description On the east ...
