Hochobir, Mountain summit in Carinthia, Austria

Hochobir rises to 2139 meters above sea level, standing independently from neighboring peaks and offering views across the Karawanken mountain range and Drau Valley.

The mountain contains remnants of the Rainer Schutzhaus from 1877, which functioned as a weather station before German forces utilized it during World War II.

The mountain location marks the convergence of Austrian and Slovenian territories, representing centuries of interaction between Alpine communities through trade and travel routes.

A toll road extends from Ebriach to Eisenkappler Hütte at 1560 meters, providing access to a 5.8-kilometer trail that leads to the mountain summit.

The summit features the ruins of Austria's first mountain weather station, known as Hann-Warte, along with former mining operations for lead and zinc deposits.
