The **Gallner** (Gallner Berg:710 m) is a mountain ridge near [Konzell](/source/Konzell) in the [Bavarian Forest](/source/Bavarian_Forest) that runs from west to east between the valley of the [Kinsach](/source/Kinsach) in the west and the [Menach](/source/Menach) valley. The [E8 European long distance path](/source/E8_European_long_distance_path) runs over it.

## Name

The mountain is called the Gallner because it was used as a [mountain pasture](/source/Alpine_pasture) for [heifers](/source/Cattle#Terminology) (German: *Galtvieh*). An old form of the name of the ridge in the early 18th century was *Goldner*.[1]

## Description

The mountain is unusual in having three almost equally high summits or *[kuppen](/source/Kuppen)*: the *Gallner Berg* (710 m)([49.04832°N 12.67689°E](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=49.04832_12.67689&title=%22Gallner%20Berg%22)), *Kühleite* (704 m)([49.04825°N 12.68372°E](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=49.04825_12.68372&title=%22K%C3%BChleite%22)) and *Blumerberg* (682 m)([49.04799°N 12.69476°E](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=49.04799_12.69476&title=%22Blumerberg%22)).[2]

The summit region and the north and east mountainsides are within the municipality of [Konzell](/source/Konzell). The southern mountainside is divided between the municipalities of [Haibach](/source/Haibach_(Lower_Bavaria)), [Haselbach](/source/Haselbach_(Lower_Bavaria)) and [Rattiszell](/source/Rattiszell). Its western slopes belong to [Stallwang](/source/Stallwang).

Northwest of the summit of the Gallner Berg, at about 630 metres, is the farmstead of [Gallner](/source/Gallner_(Konzell)), which belongs to Konzell. Here is the daughter church of Saint Sixtus, built in the late 15th century.
