Kreuzspitze, Mountain summit in Hinterhornbach, Austria
The Kreuzspitze rises to 2367 meters in the Allgäu Alps, marking the border between Bavaria and Tyrol with its limestone formations and steep slopes.
Franz Senn and Cyprian Granbichler completed the first documented ascent of Kreuzspitze in 1865, establishing the initial climbing route to the summit.
The mountain's name derives from its cross-shaped appearance when viewed from specific angles, reflecting the Alpine tradition of naming peaks after their visual characteristics.
Climbers access the summit through marked trails from Hinterhornbach or Bad Hindelang, with the main hiking season extending from June through September.
The mountain features several small glaciers that create distinct microclimates, supporting rare Alpine flora adapted to high-altitude conditions.
