Hafelekarspitze, Mountain summit in Innsbruck, Austria.
The Hafelekarspitze reaches an elevation of 2,334 meters and stands as the highest point in the southern chain of the Karwendel mountain range.
In 1937, scientists Marietta Blau and Hertha Wambacher discovered nuclear disintegration stars caused by cosmic rays using nuclear emulsion plates at this location.
The mountain features the Goetheweg hiking trail, named after the German writer, connecting multiple peaks across the Nordkette range through marked paths.
Visitors can reach the summit via the Nordketten Cable Car from Innsbruck to the top station at 2,269 meters, followed by a 15-minute walk.
The Hafelekar Survey Station operates as Austria's only cosmic radiation observatory, sending data to research centers in Boulder, Moscow, and Tokyo.
