The Geißfuß is a mountain in Bavaria, Germany.[2]

Origin of name

The name Geißfuß literally translates from German as "goat's foot". However, as early as 1628 the mountain was referred to as Genßfuß, an obsolete spelling of Gänsfuß 'goose foot'. This is theorized to derive from the appearance of its southwestern flank.[1]
