Frischenkofel, Mountain summit between Kötschach-Mauthen, Austria and Paluzza, Italy
Rising to 2241 meters in the Carnic Alps, Frischenkofel mountain forms a natural border between Austria and Italy with limestone formations along its ridges.
The Steinbergerweg via ferrata route commemorates the first recorded ascent of Frischenkofel by gendarmerie constable Steinberger during World War I in 1915.
The mountain stands as a symbol of cross-border cooperation, hosting annual hiking events that bring together outdoor enthusiasts from both Austrian and Italian communities.
Multiple marked trails connect the mountain to Wolayersee and Rifugio Marinelli, offering routes suitable for different experience levels throughout spring and summer seasons.
The mountain features distinct geological formations that reveal the ancient marine origins of the Carnic Alps through exposed coral reef structures.
