Großes Wiesbachhorn, Alpine summit in Hohe Tauern, Austria

The Grosses Wiesbachhorn reaches 3,564 meters in elevation, standing as the third-highest mountain peak in the Hohe Tauern range of Salzburg.

Two farmers from Fusch, named Zanker and Zorner, completed the first recorded ascent of Grosses Wiesbachhorn during the eighteenth century.

Franz Riegele and Willo Welzenbach pioneered the use of ice nails during their first ascent of the Northwest Face in July 1924.

The Heinrich Schwaiger Haus, located 1,388 meters from the summit, provides accommodation for climbers and serves as the main starting point for ascents.

The eastern slope drops 2,300 meters to the Fuscher Ache river, creating one of the steepest elevation differences between summit and valley in the Eastern Alps.
