The Beinn Chabhair is a 933 meter high mountain in Scotland . Its Gaelic name probably means mountain of the hawk.It is located in the southern highlands between the north end of Loch Lomond and the village of Crianlarich in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and is one of the Munros .
Like Beinn a 'Chroin to the east of it, Beinn Chabhair is a rocky and rough mountain in its summit structure. From its highest point, a broad rocky ridge stretches to the northwest and then to the west, which ends high above Glen Falloch. In the middle of the various smaller peaks of this ridge is the small Lochan a Caisteal . The Beinn Chabhair is one of the Munros popular with hikers and mountaineers, as it can be reached relatively quickly due to its location directly on the West Highland Way and a wide view of the Trossachs is possible from its summit . To the south the view goes over Loch Lomond to Loch Long . From the West Highland Way, the ascent begins in the small settlement of Inverarnan on the A82 south-west of Crianlarich in Glen Falloch . The ascent is possible either through the valley of Ben Glas Burn, which rises below the summit, or via the north-western summit ridge. Munro excavators often combine the Beinn Chabhair with the northeastern An Caisteal and the Beinn a 'Chroin, from which it is separated by a flat, nameless saddle about 600 meters high .
