Großer Donnerkogel, Mountain summit in Gosau, Austria
The Großer Donnerkogel rises 2054 meters above sea level, featuring limestone formations within the Gosaukamm mountain range at the border of Upper Austria and Salzburg.
The mountain received its name, meaning Thunder Mountain, from local residents who observed frequent thunderstorms gathering around its peak during summer months.
The Großer Donnerkogel stands within the Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut region, which gained UNESCO World Heritage status for its geological and natural characteristics.
Climbers access the mountain through the Gosaukammbahn cable car to Gablonzer Hütte, where the via ferrata route begins its 400-meter ascent over two distinct sections.
The mountain features a 40-meter-long steel ladder known as Jacob's Ladder, connecting Kleiner Donnerkogel to Großer Donnerkogel through an exposed vertical passage.
