Seespitz, Mountain summit in Upper Austria, Austria

Seespitz is a mountain summit at about 1574 meters within the Toten Gebirge range, marked by steep slopes and exposed limestone formations. Multiple marked trails approach the peak from different directions, each offering varying levels of difficulty and perspectives.

The Seespitz rises on the eastern edge of the Warscheneck group in the Pyhrn-Priel region of Upper Austria. Its position directly above the Gleinkersee, south of Windischgarsten, gave the summit its name. The mountain is built of limestone, part of the Toten Gebirge, whose German name means Dead Mountains.

The name Seespitz refers to its position directly above the Gleinkersee, the lake south of Windischgarsten. The summit is climbed by marked routes, including the Kniewasser-Steig through the Seegraben from the lake, and paths from the Pießling-Ursprung near Roßleithen or the Wurzeralm via the managed Dümlerhütte.

The shortest marked route starts at Gleinkersee and climbs via the Seegraben and the Kniewasser-Steig to the summit. Other approaches come from the Pießling-Ursprung near Roßleithen or from the Wurzeralm near Spital am Pyhrn, both passing the managed Dümlerhütte.

The Seespitz takes its name from the Gleinkersee lake directly below it, and the shortest marked route to the summit starts at that lake, climbing through the Seegraben gully and up the Kniewasser-Steig. Other routes come from the Pießling-Ursprung near Roßleithen or from the Wurzeralm near Spital am Pyhrn, both passing the managed Dümlerhütte.
