Eisenhut

Eisenhut is a mountain summit in the Gurktal Alps standing at around 2,440 meters high. It provides views across the surrounding alpine landscape and serves as an excellent vantage point for observing the central eastern alpine regions.

The mountain's name comes from historical iron ore mining that took place near Turrach. This mining activity shaped the economic life of the region and left its mark on the alpine landscape.

The summit brings together mountain walkers from three Austrian regions, each with distinct local customs and traditions. People from Styria, Carinthia, and Salzburg meet here and share their regional heritage.

The summit can be reached via multiple trails starting from Turracher Höhe Pass, all clearly marked for hikers. Routes vary in difficulty, so choose one that matches your fitness level and available time.

The summit sits at the boundary where three Austrian states meet, creating a special meeting point in the alpine region. Standing here means you are at the intersection of Styria, Carinthia, and Salzburg all at once.
