Rinnkogel

The Rinnkogel rises to 1,823 meters above sea level, featuring forested slopes that transition into rocky terrain near its narrow ridge summit.

The mountain paths through Rinnkogel developed during the 19th century when local hunters and gatherers established initial tracking routes across the slopes.

Local mountaineering groups maintain the network of traditional Alpine paths leading to Rinnkogel's peak, preserving regional hiking practices.

The ascent to Rinnkogel takes approximately 6 hours round trip, covering 10.69 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,079 meters from the Postalm parking area.

During winter months, the southern exposure of Rinnkogel's upper paths creates distinct temperature variations between its forested base and exposed summit sections.
