Wagendrischelhorn, Mountain peak in Reiter Alm, Germany and Austria
Wagendrischelhorn is a mountain summit in the Reiter Alm reaching about 2250 meters, positioned where Bavaria and Salzburg meet. The terrain around the peak features a karst plateau landscape with typical high-altitude vegetation across the exposed slopes.
The mountain has marked the border between Bavaria and Salzburg for centuries, serving as a natural landmark for traders and herders crossing the region. Its strategic position helped keep the mountain area important for exchange between both sides.
Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional hiking routes to the summit, preserving the established paths used by generations of alpine communities.
The summit can be reached via several routes that vary in length and difficulty, with some being steep and short while others climb more gradually. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be cautious in wet weather, as the paths on the karst plateau can become slippery.
Beneath the karst plateau lie underground cavities and water channels that create natural water filtration and shape the landscape in hidden ways. These geological features are invisible from above but make the subsurface a kind of hidden maze beneath your feet.
