Streichkopf, Alpine summit in Tyrol, Austria

Streichkopf is an Alpine peak in Tyrol that rises above 2243 meters and combines rocky terrain with open meadows throughout the climb. The mountain offers varied landscapes as hikers move through steep sections and gentler grassland areas along the trail.

No first ascent of the Streichkopf is recorded: the fertile ground of the Rofan was settled early and the mountains are easy to climb from the south. The summit is reached from the Erfurter Hütte (1831 m) above Maurach; the normal route follows trail no. 413 north toward the Hochiss and then west to the top, partly over scree and rocky ground. Theodor Trautwein described the Rofan in Die Erschließung der Ostalpen (Berlin, 1893).

The easiest route is marked trail no. 413, which starts at the Erfurter Hütte (1831 m) above Maurach, heads north toward the Hochiss and then turns west to the summit over partly craggy ground. From Maurach the peak lies about 4 km away in a straight line; Steinberg am Rofan is roughly 6 km to the north.

The normal route, trail no. 413, first heads north toward the Hochiss before turning west to the summit, partly over rocky, craggy ground. The Streichkopf marks the bend of the Rofan main ridge where the Dalfazer Wände chain branches off to the south.
