The Hohes Brett is a mountain, 2,340 m (7,680 ft) above sea level according to the German system or 2,338 m (7,671 ft) according to the Austrian system, in the Göll massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps. The border between Germany (Bavaria) and Austria (Salzburg) runs across its peak. Its name, meaning "High Plank" in German, refers to the flat, rocky plateau near the summit which offers panoramic views of the surrounding areas including the Watzmann's east face, the Hagen Mountains and the Steinernes Meer. For a mountain of its height it is easy to scale and thus sees a lot of visitors.
