Mullwitzkogel, Alpine summit in Lienz District, Austria.
Description
Mullwitzkogel is a mountain in the Venediger Group that rises to 2,767 meters (9,078 feet). The climb follows steep terrain with exposed rock sections that make the ascent technically demanding.
History
The mountain received an alternative name, Wiesbauerspitze, in 2007 through a marketing initiative tied to a cycling event sponsored by a sausage manufacturer. This renaming triggered later discussions about naming rights for peaks.
Culture
The Austrian Alpine Club maintains traditional mountaineering practices by preserving the original name Mullwitzkogel in their official mapping documentation.
Practical
Access starts from the Ströden parking area via a marked trail, with the ascent taking roughly four to five hours. Sturdy boots and basic climbing skills are needed to navigate the exposed sections safely.
Did you know?
Austrian landowners can rename peaks without regulatory approval, a fact that created legal questions when applied to this mountain. The situation reveals an unusual aspect of property rights in Alpine regions.
