Drusenfluh, Mountain summit in Rätikon range, Austria and Switzerland
Description
Drusenfluh is a summit in the Rätikon range rising to 2827 meters and forms the natural border between Vorarlberg in Austria and Graubünden in Switzerland. The southern side shows steep rock faces, while the landscape on both sides displays different geographic features.
History
Christian Zudrell completed the first documented ascent on August 14, 1870, leaving behind a stone with an inscription. This marked memorial was later moved to Lindauer Hütte, where it remains as a record of that early climb.
Culture
The three peaks here are called Drei Türme and form a distinctive rock formation between Austria and Switzerland. Visitors can see this characteristic shape from the mountain itself or from surrounding trails.
Practical
The mountain is accessible via several routes on the southern side in Swiss territory, and visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions. Equipment should be appropriate for alpine conditions, as the elevation and terrain require special precautions.
Did you know?
The highest point at 2827 meters sits on the border line itself, while the three peaks called Drei Türme rise slightly higher on the Austrian side. This arrangement makes the mountain a rare example of a geographically divided summit.
