Grosser Speikkogel, Mountain summit in Carinthia, Austria

Grosser Speikkogel rises to 2,140 meters in elevation within the Lavanttal Alps, marking the highest point of the Koralpe mountain range.

The mountain held strategic importance during Roman times, leading to the construction of military installations that continue with modern radar facilities.

The summit represents a key point in Austrian mountaineering tradition, connecting multiple hiking paths that extend through the surrounding alpine landscape.

A paved road extends 4.3 kilometers from Parkplatz Koralpe to the summit, featuring an elevation gain of 480 meters with gradients reaching 20 percent.

Two large radar domes at the peak form part of the Austrian Army's Goldhood air traffic surveillance system, monitoring national airspace.
