Guntherstein

The Guntherstein (around 700  m above sea  level ) is a lookout rock in the Bavarian Forest high above the climatically favorable Lallinger Winkel with the eponymous village of Lalling .

The name comes from Saint Gunther , who once moved from the Niederalteich monastery to the then still deserted and primeval Bavarian Forest, cleared parts of the forests for settlement areas and later settled in the Bohemian Forest . The Gunthersteig, a hiking trail that takes several days from Niederalteich over the Guntherstein and the border crossing at Gsenget to the Gunther Church in Dobrá Voda in the Czech Republic, still reminds of him today .

From this striking rock there is a view over the Lallinger Winkel to the south and to the Danube plain, on clear foehn days to the Alps.
