Spielmann, Alpine summit in Heiligenblut, Austria
Spielmann is an Alpine peak in the Hohe Tauern region, standing above surrounding glacial terrain. The mountain forms part of a ridge system shaped by ice fields on multiple flanks.
The Untere Pfandlscharte pass near the summit served as a major crossing route during Roman times. This passage connected different Alpine regions and remained important for centuries of mountain travel.
A memorial cross stands at the summit to commemorate mountaineers who lost their lives while climbing in these Alpine regions.
Access comes by way of the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse mountain road that climbs through the range. Climbers should bring proper gear and experience since conditions demand skill and preparation.
The Spielmannkees glacier on the north side is a prominent feature within Hohe Tauern National Park. This ice mass visibly demonstrates how glaciers continue to shape the mountain landscape.
