Silberpfennig, Mountain summit in Salzburg, Austria.
Silberpfennig is a mountain summit in the Goldberg Group reaching about 2600 meters, with steep limestone cliffs and the rocky landscape typical of the Eastern Alps. The surroundings mix bare stone faces with grassy meadows that change appearance through the seasons.
The name refers to the region's mining heritage, when minerals were once extracted from these mountains and shaped local development. This old industry left its mark on the valley and remains part of the area's story.
The mountain sits between two spa towns where visitors and locals share a deep connection to alpine life and mountain climbing. You can see this relationship in how people spend their free time exploring the slopes and heights.
The summit is reachable by marked hiking trails, though the route is demanding and requires good physical condition to complete. Accommodations and restaurants in the valleys below provide a good base for your visit.
In winter, the mountain offers natural slopes for ski mountaineers who climb and descend on their own. Summer brings alpine meadows where marmots and chamois graze freely on the slopes.
