Faulkogel

Located between Flachauer Tal, Kleinarltal, and Zederhaustal valleys, Faulkogel rises to an elevation of 2,654 meters with three distinct peaks.

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, surveyors incorrectly measured Faulkogel as the highest peak in the region at over 8,000 feet.

The mountain's name originates from the German word 'faule', referring to the loose and weathered rock formations near its summit.

Climbers can access Faulkogel through established routes from Riedingtal via Franz-Fischer-Hütte or from the Tauernalm near the Tauerntunnel northern portal.

Faulkogel serves as a watershed for three major Austrian river basin units: Donau bis Jochenstein, Donau unterhalb Jochenstein, and Mur.
