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.
Wagendrischelhorn is the middle and third-highest of the three main peaks of the Reiter Alm, after the Stadelhorn and the Großes Häuselhorn. It is separated from the Stadelhorn to the south by the 2,055 m Mayrbergscharte and from the Großes Häuselhorn to the north by an unnamed gap at about 2,125 m. Seen from Ramsau, its rounded rock summit serves as a landmark of the massif.
The rounded rock profile seen from Ramsau makes the peak a landmark of the Reiter Alm massif. Climbers reach it by way of the Rossgasse and the Rosskarjoch, and the summit is the easiest of the three highest Reiter Alm peaks to reach. From the Mayrbergscharte a via ferrata climbs the south side in about 45 minutes.
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.
The summit is the easiest of the three highest Reiter Alm peaks to reach: from the Rosskarjoch the normal route takes about 45 minutes, and from the Neue Traunsteiner Hütte about 2.5 hours via the Rossgasse, branching right in the Rosskar before the Rosskarscharte. A via ferrata also climbs from the Mayrbergscharte in 45 minutes.
