Wasserklotz, Mountain peak in Rosenau am Hengstpaß, Austria

Wasserklotz is a summit in the Rosenau am Hengstpaß area of Austria. The trail to the top passes through mixed forests that open up to grassy meadows as you climb higher.

Wasserklotz lies in the Reichraminger Hintergebirge, part of the Upper Austrian Pre-Alps, and its summit reaches 1,505 m above sea level. The name comes from the gorge-like Racheln cut into the dolomite rock, where torrents flow during snowmelt. A large rock gate stands about 200 m south of the summit.

From the summit, you can see the Haller Mauern rock faces and the Totes Gebirge range on clear days. The view shifts noticeably with the seasons and changes in light throughout the day.
