Pirchkogel

The Pirchkogel mountain rises to an elevation of 2,828 meters, featuring several small mountain lakes and a plateau called Schwarzmoos at its base point.

Since 1933, the mountain area has been a site for research studies focused on water ecology and the changes in high alpine landscapes over 800 years.

The mountain paths intersect with centuries-old grazing grounds where sheep and cattle have influenced the local ecosystems since medieval times.

Hikers can start their ascent from Kühtai following a steep path to Schwarzmoosseen lakes before reaching the summit through multiple established routes.

The summit contains a signal post instead of a traditional cross, while nearby Gossenköllesee lake at 2,413 meters serves as an ecological research station.
