Hochkünzelspitze, Mountain summit in Vorarlberg, Austria.
Description
Hochkünzelspitze reaches 2,397 meters and forms the eastern end of the Zitterklapfen group in the Lechquellen Mountains. The summit features a rocky structure with open views across the surrounding mountain landscape in all directions.
History
The mountain was historically part of trading routes running through the Schadonapass, connecting regions for centuries. These alpine crossings were crucial for exchange between communities on both sides of the mountains.
Culture
The summit cross displays an inscription reflecting the Catholic faith deeply rooted in the Vorarlberg region. This religious marker shows how important the connection between nature and belief remains in these alpine communities.
Practical
The Biberacher hut at 1,846 meters serves as a base for ascending the mountain and offers accommodation and supplies during climbing season. Access to the hut requires a hike from the valley, with well-marked routes suitable for experienced mountaineers.
