Hohe Dock

Hohe Dock is an Alpine summit with a distinctive trapezoidal form that rises prominently above the Fuscher Ache valley. The mountain sits within the High Tauern National Park's high Alpine zone and displays visible rock formations along its slopes.

The first documented ascent took place in the 1840s during a hunting expedition in the Alps. The mountain has since become a regular destination for climbers interested in the region's mountaineering history.

This peak draws mountaineers and nature enthusiasts seeking to experience the high Alpine landscape of the national park. It serves as a destination where visitors can engage with the mountain environment and understand the region's strong connection to outdoor pursuits.

The climb starts at Ferleiten with marked trails that lead to a mountain hut where climbers can rest and resupply before continuing higher. Experience in Alpine mountaineering and proper equipment are essential, particularly because weather conditions change quickly at elevation.

The mountain has a secondary peak nearby that is only slightly lower and remains visible from the main climbing route. Many visitors notice this neighboring summit only while descending or when exploring the surrounding terrain.
