Hinterer Bratschenkopf, Mountain summit in Kaprun, Austria
The Hinterer Bratschenkopf reaches an elevation of 3,413 meters and features a gently curved firn summit from three sides with a steep western rock wall.
In 1869, alpinist Karl Hofmann and businessman Johann Stüdl, accompanied by guides Thomas Groder and Josef Schnell, completed the first recorded ascent of Hinterer Bratschenkopf.
The mountain received its name in 1871 from Major Joseph Pelikan, derived from the term bratschen referring to calc-schist rock formations in the area.
The standard climbing route starts at Heinrich Schwaiger Haus and requires glacier navigation equipment, with ascent times ranging between two to three hours.
The western face of Hinterer Bratschenkopf presents a 1,400-meter high rock wall with inclinations between 40 and 60 degrees.
