Säulkopf, Alpine summit in Matrei in Osttirol, Austria.

Säulkopf is an alpine summit in the Venediger Group of the Eastern Alps, positioned between the Matrei and Virgen regions. The mountain offers several climbing routes and can be approached from the Bonn-Matreier Hut, with the upper sections requiring careful footwork and some scrambling experience.

The sources record no historical events, construction dates or trade history for Säulkopf; the summit is documented only as a 3,209 m peak of the Venediger Group, about 5 km north-east of Prägraten in East Tyrol. Its marked normal route is described in the Alpine Club guide to the Venediger Group by Willi End and Hubert Peterka (5th edition, 2006) and on Alpine Club map sheet 36 at 1:25,000.

The normal route from the Bonn-Matreier Hütte crosses a scree slope, a rock gully and secured sections with wire cables before reaching the summit cross. The hut itself, at 2750 m, is reached from a toll road parking area above Wallhorn in about 2.5 to 3 hours.

The climb demands sure-footedness and head for heights, particularly in the steeper upper sections. Starting early and checking mountain weather conditions carefully before heading out are important precautions for a safe ascent.

The summit cross stands at 3,209 m, about 5 km as the crow flies northeast of Prägraten. On a clear day the view reaches the Hoher Eichham (3,371 m), the Virgental valley and, to the south, the Lasörling. The normal route from the Bonn-Matreier Hütte takes about 1½ hours, passing a scree slope, a rock gully and wire-rope safeguards.
