The Breitenauriegel (colloquially also called the Breitenauer Riegel) is a mountain in the Bavarian Forest of Germany.
The mountain is 1,116 m above sea level (NHN)[1] high and rises from the crest of the Vorderer Bavarian Forest near Bischofsmais and the neighbouring summits of the Geißkopf and the Dreitannenriegel.
At the top is a summit rock with a summit cross and view looking northwest towards Gotteszell. North of the Breitenauriegel, towards, Geißkopf, is the plateau of Oberbreitenau. Various footpaths from Habischried, Bischofsmais, Rusel and Rohrmünz, including the Main-Danube Way with the Ostlinie[1] make their way to the summit. About 750 metres southeast of the top is a works hut for the Deggendorf branch of the mountain rescue service, the Bergwacht.[2][1]
The peak and most of the mountainsides are in the Special Area of Conservation called the Deggendorfer Vorwald.[3]
