Schoberköpfe

The Schoberköpfe consists of several ridge-shaped peaks along the eastern edge of the Hochkönig plateau, reaching an elevation of 2,708 meters above sea level.

Ludwig Purtscheller completed the first documented tourist ascent of the Schoberköpfe on June 29, 1882, marking the beginning of recreational mountaineering in this area.

The mountain forms part of the Berchtesgaden Alps, where local mountaineering traditions have developed through generations of climbers tackling its challenging routes.

Climbers accessing the Teufelskirche section need technical skills up to grade IV, while multiple routes on the southern faces offer varying climbing difficulties.

The Übergossene Alm plateau glacier terminates near the Schoberschartl gap at 2,579 meters, creating a distinct geological formation in the Hochkönig summit region.
