The Horn, Mountain summit in Mount Buffalo National Park, Australia.

The Horn rises 1,723 meters above sea level, featuring exposed granite cliffs and extensive rock formations that form part of Mount Buffalo plateau.

Europeans first recorded The Horn in 1824 during an expedition led by explorers Hamilton Hume and William Hovell across the Australian Alps.

Aboriginal groups from the Taungurung nation maintained connections to this mountain area through ceremonies and seasonal gathering practices for generations.

Visitors can reach The Horn summit via a 1.5-kilometer walking track from the car park, which includes steel stairs and viewing platforms.

The granite peak offers 360-degree views spanning across the Australian Alps, including Mount Bogong, Mount Feathertop, and Mount Hotham.
