The Schneibstein is a mountain, 2,276 m (7,467 ft) above sea level, in the Hagen Mountains range of the Berchtesgaden Alps. Located on the border between Germany (Bavaria) and Austria (Salzburg), it is popular with tourists and day-trippers due to its ease of access and panoramic views.
The Schneibstein is the northernmost peak of the Hagen Mountains, separated from the Hohes Brett in the neighboring Göll massif by the Bluntautal valley and the Torrener Joch. To the west lies the Königssee, the valley of the Salzach to the east.
