Demeljoch, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria.
Demeljoch is a mountain summit in the Northern Limestone Alps on the border between Bavaria and Tyrol. The peak sits at 1,924 meters (6,313 feet) elevation where the two regions meet.
The summit has marked the border between kingdoms and later nations for centuries. A boundary stone carved with 'Ö' for Austria and 'D' for Germany sits at the peak, showing this historic division.
The Demeljoch stands as part of the North Tyrol Limestone Alps within the Karwendel Nature Park, representing Alpine geological formations in Central Europe.
The ascent starts from trails near Sylvensteinsee and demands good physical fitness and mountain experience. Sturdy boots and preparation for changing weather are important for a safe climb.
There is no summit cross here, as the location functions as a border area with special regulations. Visitors encounter the historical boundary marker instead, which reflects the political status of the place.
