Kellenspitze, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

The Kellenspitze peak rises to 2,238 meters, forming the highest elevation point in the Tannheim Mountains of the Northern Limestone Alps.

The mountain's original name Metzenarsch changed to Kellenspitze in 1854 during Marie Frederica of Prussia's visit to the Tegelberg hunting lodge.

The mountain stands as part of the Lechtal Nappe geological formation, revealing layers of Wetterstein limestone and Partnach marl beds.

Climbers access the summit through the northwestern route from Nesselwängler Scharte, starting at the Tannheimer Hut at 1,713 meters elevation.

The mountain's crumbly rock composition makes it less favorable for technical climbing, despite its status as the highest peak in the region.
