The Hohe Filzberg is a mountain in the Lower Bavarian district of Freyung-Grafenau .
The 1279 meter high mountain is just over a kilometer east of Lusen, which is almost a hundred meters higher . In the south about one kilometer away is the Sulzriegel (1260 m), in the north the Steinfleckberg (1341 m) separated by the valley of the Kleiner Schwarzbach . To the east the mountain falls down into the valley of the Reschbach stream. The closest localities are Finsterau in the east and Waldhäuser in the west.
The name of the mountain is probably explained by the fact that there is a small felt (Bavarian for high moor ) about two hundred meters east of the summit . As on the Lusen and some other surrounding mountains, the spruce trees on the Hohen Filzberg were almost completely destroyed by the bark beetle . Since the mountain lies completely in the Bavarian Forest National Park , no countermeasures were taken, but nature was left to its own devices (see here ).
