The Bschießer (in official maps also B'schießer , Tyrolean also Bscheißer ) is a 2000 meter, according to Austrian measurements 1998 meter high mountain in the Allgäu Alps .

Location and surroundings

It is located in the Rauhhornzug, southeast of the Iseler and northwest of the Ponten . The border between Germany and Austria runs over the summit. The Bschießer is at least 100 meters high and its dominance is 600 meters, with the Ponten as the reference mountain.

Origin of name

Due to its location in the German-Austrian border area, the mountain was mentioned frequently, for the first time in 1561 as in (den) Scheißer in Spiz . In 1803 there was a mention as a shit head . Der bscheißer was first noted in the Bavarian recording sheet in 1819. Similar to the mountain names Schüsser or Fürschießer , which also occur in the Allgäu Alps , the naming of the mountain indicates that "shooting down" avalanches or boulders can be expected on it.

Ascent

Marked hiking trails lead to the Bschießer. The south edge, which slopes steeply to the south, is a popular climbing tour (difficulty IV + ), which is also often combined with a ski tour.
