Gartnerkofel, Mountain summit in Carnic Alps, Austria.

The Gartnerkofel reaches an elevation of 2,195 meters, featuring two distinct peaks and northern slopes divided by prominent rocky ridges and deep ravines.

The mountain gained scientific recognition in 1799 when alpinist Franz Xaver von Wulfen discovered the endemic plant species Wulfenia carinthiaca on its slopes.

The mountain name reflects the multicultural heritage of the region, known as Gartnerkofel in German and Krniške skale in Slovenian language.

Visitors can access the summit through multiple routes from Nassfeld Pass, with the northwest path offering the most straightforward climbing experience.

The slopes of Gartnerkofel represent the only natural habitat where the blue-flowering Wulfenia carinthiaca grows in its native environment.
