Rettelkirchspitze, Mountain summit in Wölzer Tauern, Austria.

The Rettelkirchspitze reaches an elevation of 2,475 meters, featuring red-tinted rock formations and multiple marble deposits near its southern face.

Local mining activities in the Wölzer Tauern region during the 19th century led to the discovery of significant amphibolite deposits near the mountain peak.

The mountain's name combines 'rettel,' referring to its red-colored rocks, and 'kirche,' indicating its status as a standalone rocky elevation.

The Neunkirchner Hütte at 1,535 meters serves as the primary starting point for a three-hour ascent through the eastern ridge trail system.

The mountain forms part of a ridge that branches southeast from the Alpine main ridge at Hochstubofen, separating the Feistritz and Eselberger valleys.
