Description
Schweikert is a mountain summit in the Kaunergrat range located in Tyrol, Austria. The peak forms part of a rocky ridge system with steep slopes on multiple sides and offers views across adjacent valleys.
History
The Kaunergrat range has served as a key landmark for travelers crossing high alpine passes since the Middle Ages. Early mountaineering documentation recorded routes through this massif, shaping how people navigated the surrounding terrain.
