Säuleck, Alpine summit in Carinthia, Austria

Säuleck reaches an elevation of 3086 meters within the Ankogel mountain group, featuring steep granite slopes and numerous glacial formations along its faces.

The mountain summit received a seven-meter-high pyramid structure in 1823 for military trigonometric measurements conducted by First Lieutenant von Catharin in 1825.

The mountain paths contain multiple stone markers and crosses that local mountain communities have placed over generations to guide travelers through the Alpine terrain.

Climbers can access the mountain through established routes from the towns of Malta or Mallnitz, with summer months providing optimal climbing conditions.

The summit location offers unobstructed views of both the Hochalmspitze peak and the Kölnbrein Dam, Austria's highest hydroelectric barrier at 200 meters.
