Ochsenbug, Mountain summit in East Tyrol, Austria.
Ochsenbug rises to an elevation of 3007 meters in the Venediger Group, featuring steep rocky slopes and extensive grasslands on its approach paths.
The first documented ascent occurred in 1854 when surveyor Hermann van Acken reached the peak during mapping expeditions of the Eastern Alps region.
The mountain peak displays a large metal cross at its summit, following the Alpine tradition of marking significant mountainous achievements with religious symbols.
The normal route from Hinteregg requires 5 to 6 hours of hiking through marked paths, covering approximately 1700 meters of elevation gain.
The mountain marks the easternmost three-thousand-meter peak in the Venediger Group, offering views of both the Großglockner and Großvenediger mountains.
