Obersulzbachkees

The Obersulzbachkees extends across the mountainous terrain at 3,135 meters elevation, featuring steep ice formations and extensive snow fields throughout the year.

The glacier terminus of Obersulzbachkees reached the Obersulzbach Hut until 1850, marking a significant point before its continuous retreat in subsequent decades.

The communities of Krimml and Neukirchen maintain Alpine traditions through environmental protection programs and sustainable tourism practices focused on glacier preservation.

Visitors require guidance from certified mountain experts to explore the glacier, as the terrain demands technical climbing skills and proper safety equipment.

The glacier sits among 17 ice formations in the Sulzbachtäler region, which spans 6,700 hectares and contains 25 peaks above 3,000 meters.
