Hohes Brett

Hohes Brett rises to 2340 meters above sea level, featuring steep limestone cliffs and a flat rocky plateau near its peak along the German-Austrian border.

The mountain name translates to High Plank in German, referring to the characteristic flat rock formation that has guided travelers between Bavaria and Salzburg for centuries.

The mountain connects German and Austrian territories, making it a meeting point where hikers from both nations share traditional Alpine climbing techniques and customs.

Three main access routes lead to the summit: from Golling through Bluntautal valley, from the Jennerbahn cable car station, or via Hinterbrand with a 1238-meter elevation gain.

The summit provides views of the largest east wall in the Eastern Alps, the Watzmann, plus glaciers of Hohe Tauern including Grosses Wiesbachhorn and Grossvenediger.
