Sarojahoehe, Mountain summit in Rätikon, Austria and Liechtenstein
Sarojahoehe is a 1,659 meter (5,443 feet) summit composed of limestone rock that forms part of the Eastern Alps between Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein. The peak sits within a larger alpine complex where geology and borders intersect.
The summit served as a boundary marker between Austria and Liechtenstein when territorial borders were formally established in the region centuries ago. Its location made it a natural reference point for border delineation.
The mountain's name reflects the linguistic heritage of the Alpine region, where German and Rhaeto-Romanic traditions intersect in daily mountain life.
Well-marked hiking paths connect the summit to both sides of the border, with access best during warmer months. Starting early and wearing sturdy footwear is advisable, as the terrain becomes steep and rocky near the top.
From this summit, visitors stand at the exact border point where they can gaze into two different countries at once. This rare location creates a distinctive experience of straddling two sovereign nations from a single viewpoint.
