Hoher Eichham, Alpine summit in Venediger Group, High Tauern, Austria
The Hoher Eichham rises to 3,371 meters with four distinct arêtes extending north, east, south, and southwest from its central peak.
The first documented tourist ascent occurred on July 16, 1887, when Berlin alpinists Carl Benzien and Hermann Meynow reached the summit with guide Hans Hörhager.
The mountain forms part of the High Tauern National Park, integrating alpine climbing traditions with environmental protection measures in Austria.
Climbers typically start from Bonn-Matreier Hut at 2,750 meters, following trail 923 through Sandboden and requiring approximately seven hours for the complete ascent.
The mountain features two glaciers, Nilkees to the southeast and Hexenkees to the northeast, while two others, Großer and Kleiner Eichhamkees, have reduced to ice slabs.
