Schleinitz, Mountain summit in Lienz District, Austria.

Schleinitz is a summit in the Schobergruppe range at 2904 meters elevation, characterized by steep rocky slopes and marked hiking trails. The routes traverse changing terrain through alpine meadows and rocky passages leading toward the peak.

Botanist David Heinrich Hoppe completed the first recorded ascent in 1798 and documented his findings in a botanical publication. This early scientific exploration made the mountain a known destination for naturalist study.

The Neualpl Lakes at 2,438 m lie on the Neualpl ridge, a southeastern spur of the Schleinitz. The ridge continues over the Goisele (2,433 m, also called Gösselmandl), the Schoberköpfl (2,281 m) and the Steinermandl down to the Zettersfeld. Hikers pass these small lakes and summits on the marked route from the Zettersfeld.

Access starts with the Zettersfeld cable car from Lienz, which brings you to 1812 meters where marked trails continue upward. Hikers should prepare for changing conditions and bring appropriate mountain gear.

The summit cross stands at about 2,850 m, roughly 120 m southwest of the true top; a via ferrata runs over the summit toward the Sattelköpfe (2,697 m). The botanist David Heinrich Hoppe reached the top on 3 August 1798 with a mountain guide and published a short account in the Botanisches Taschenbuch of 1799.
