Zirbitzkogel, Summit and mountain peak in Styria, Austria
The Zirbitzkogel rises to 2396 meters, forming the highest point of the Seetal Alps with its crystalline rock structure of slate, gneisses, and granites.
The mountain's name originates from the Slovenian word 'zirbiza', referring to the red mountain pastures covered with alpenrose flowers that grow in the region.
Alpine pastures around Zirbitzkogel maintain traditional grazing practices, with cattle, sheep, and horses roaming the meadows from June through September.
The Small Zirbitzkogel circuit spans 10.3 kilometers from Tonnerhütte, requiring approximately 5 hours to complete with 843 meters of elevation change.
The summit area contains several tarns called Winterleitenseen and serves as a breeding ground for morellel plovers amid ragged sedge grasslands.
