Hinteres Sonnwendjoch

The Hinteres Sonnwendjoch reaches an elevation of 1,986 meters, forming the highest peak of the Mangfall range within the Bavarian Prealps complex.

The mountain's geological composition includes main dolomite rock formations and plattenkalk on its southern slope, dating back to the Upper Carnian-Norian period.

Local mountaineering traditions center around multiple established routes to the summit, connecting mountain communities from both the Austrian and Bavarian sides.

Hikers can access the mountain via a 10.95-kilometer trail starting from Ackernalm at 1,383 meters, reached through a toll road from Bayrischzell or Kufstein.

The northern face features a steep drop into the Grund, while the summit location allows clear views of the Kaiser Mountains, High Tauern, and Zillertaler Alps.
