Raucheck, Monumental cross in Tennen Mountains, Salzburg, Austria.
The cross stands at the peak of Raucheck, reaching an elevation of 2430 meters within the Northern Limestone Alps mountain range.
The structure was constructed in the mid-12th century using limewood and birch materials, following traditional Romanesque architectural principles.
This religious monument represents the intersection between medieval Austrian spirituality and Alpine mountain traditions in the Salzburg region.
Visitors can reach the cross through two main routes, starting either from Wengerau or Mahdegg, with climbing times of five and four hours respectively.
The cross provides views extending to the Hochkönig, Berchtesgaden Alps, and High Tauern mountains, including clear sights of Ankogel.
