Frau Hitt, Mountain summit in Nordkette, Austria
The Frau Hitt peak rises 2,270 meters above sea level as part of the Karwendel mountain range, featuring a distinctive rock formation visible from Innsbruck.
Johann Georg Ernstinger completed the first documented ascent of Frau Hitt in 1580, marking the beginning of recorded mountaineering on this peak.
The mountain takes its name from a local tale about a wealthy queen who turned to stone after offering a hungry beggar a piece of rock.
Climbers access the summit through the west shoulder route, which includes sections rated at difficulty level III according to the climbing classification system.
The Frau Hitt Saddle at 2,235 meters connects the Inn Valley to Gleirschtal valley, serving as an intersection for multiple alpine hiking trails.
