Kulmspitze, Mountain summit in Innerschwand am Mondsee, Austria.
Kulmspitze is a mountain summit near Innerschwand am Mondsee in Upper Austria, with an observation tower at the top providing panoramic views. The tower looks out toward distant peaks including the Watzmann and Traunstein mountains.
The summit received its first tower structure in 1875, a pyramid-shaped construction that was maintained by mountain enthusiasts for many decades. A new tower was built in recent years to restore the historic connection between the mountain and local communities.
The summit serves as a gathering place for hikers exploring the Mondsee region and represents an important recreational destination in local daily life. People come here to spend time outdoors and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape.
You can reach the summit via well-marked hiking trails that offer different levels of difficulty for various fitness abilities. Parking is available in the valley below, as spaces near the top are limited.
The new tower was funded largely through European regional development money that two neighboring towns jointly requested and built together. This uncommon collaboration project demonstrates how the communities share the mountain landscape across their borders.
