Großer Weitschartenkopf, Mountain summit in Unken, Austria
The Großer Weitschartenkopf rises to 1979 meters above sea level in the northwestern section of the Reiter Alm mountain range near the Bavarian border.
The geological formations of Großer Weitschartenkopf consist of layered Dachstein limestone, which dates back to the Norian and Rhaetian periods of Earth's history.
The mountain represents an important geographical landmark between Austria and Bavaria, marking the territorial boundaries between these two historically connected Alpine regions.
Hikers can reach the summit through a marked trail from the Neue Traunsteiner Hütte, following a western path across the plateau for approximately 1.5 hours.
From the peak, visitors can observe a 200-kilometer view extending to the Bavarian Forest heights and look down into the Saalach Valley toward Schneizlreuth.
