Hackenköpfe

The Hackenköpfe consists of three distinct peaks: Westlicher Hackenkopf at 2092 meters, Mittlerer Hackenkopf at 2079 meters, and Östlicher Hackenkopf at 2119 meters.

The first documented climbing expedition to traverse the complete Hackenköpfe ridge occurred in 1992, marking the beginning of increased mountaineering activity in this section.

The Hackenköpfe forms part of the protected Kaisergebirge range, where local regulations maintain the natural environment and traditional Alpine practices.

Access to Hackenköpfe is possible through multiple trailheads, including Bärnstatt, Hintersteiner See, and Jagerwirt, with designated parking areas available at each location point.

The mountain ridge extends for 5 kilometers from Sonneck to Scheffauer, featuring steep limestone formations that create technical climbing challenges throughout the traverse.
