Schoberköpfe

Schoberköpfe is a series of jagged peaks forming the eastern boundary of the Hochkönig plateau. The ridge runs between prominent summits and steep rock formations that rise to approximately 2,700 meters.

The first documented recreational ascent took place in 1882, marking the start of mountaineering activity in the area. Since then, various climbing routes have become established objectives in the Berchtesgaden Alps.

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

Multiple routes offer different climbing grades, ranging from moderate approaches to technically demanding sections. Visitors should plan according to their chosen route and bring appropriate gear and experience.

Glacier remnants persist near the Schoberschartl gap, showing how the high mountain landscape has shifted over time. These ice formations remain visible features of the Hochkönig massif today.
