Stripsenkopf, Mountain summit in Kaiser Mountains, Austria
Stripsenkopf is a mountain in the Kaiser range that rises to 1,807 meters (5,928 ft) above sea level. Its steep sides drop into the Kaiserbach valley and mountain pine grows across the summit area.
The mountain marks a natural boundary between the Zahmer Kaiser and Wilder Kaiser ranges, which are part of the Northern Limestone Alps. These ranges have shaped the region's geography for millions of years.
The wooden pavilion on the summit, reached by a short secured stairway, is the landmark of the Stripsenkopf. The Stripsenjochhaus below the peak serves as a base for the signposted routes, and the wide ridge path to the Feldberg (1,814 m) toward Griesenau is a frequently walked traverse.
Several trails approach the summit from Griesner Alm via Stripsenjochhaus on the normal route. Expect steep terrain and allow approximately two and a half hours for the climb from the starting point.
The summit carries a wooden pavilion, reached by a short secured staircase on the normal route. The peak itself, at 1,807 m, is covered in mountain pine, and a broad ridge runs northeast to the Feldberg (1,814 m), where a frequently walked path continues toward Griesenau.
