Großes Ochsenhorn, Mountain summit in Salzburg, Austria
The Großes Ochsenhorn reaches an elevation of 2511 meters, forming the highest peak within the Loferer Steinberge range of the Northern Limestone Alps.
The initial documented climb of Großes Ochsenhorn occurred in 1852, marking the beginning of regular guided expeditions to the mountain peaks in this region.
