Hochreichhart, Mountain summit in Seckau Tauern, Austria

Hochreichhart is a mountain summit in the Seckau Tauern range, rising to 2,416 meters with multiple routes of varying difficulty. The terrain alternates between rocky sections and more open slopes that offer different views across the surrounding landscape.

The Seckau Tauern region served as a natural boundary between northern and southern Styria during medieval times in Austrian territorial divisions. The mountain area maintained this role as a geographical dividing line across the centuries.

The name Hochreichhart is also written Hochreichart, and the summit is the second-highest in the Seckauer Tauern. A 1961 study by K. Schittengruber in the Mitteilungen des Naturwissenschaftlichen Vereines für Steiermark examined the vegetation of the Hochreichart and the neighbouring Seckauer Zinken.

The main hiking route to the summit starts from Ingeringsee and covers roughly ten kilometers, requiring sturdy footwear and proper alpine gear. The ascent takes several hours and is best tackled during periods of stable weather conditions.

Hochreichhart is the second-highest mountain of the Seckauer Tauern, 3.7 km from the Geierhaupt. Its north-west approach over the Hirschkarlgrat involves climbing of UIAA grades I and II, while the last 400 metres from the Brandstättertörl demand sure footing and a head for heights.
