Knoten, Mountain summit in Carinthia, Austria

The Knoten peak rises to an elevation of 2215 meters above sea level in the Carnic Alps, marking a natural border between Carinthia and East Tyrol.

The summit served as a strategic observation point during World War I, when Italian and Austrian forces monitored troop movements across the mountain range.

Local mountaineering clubs maintain several hiking trails leading to the summit, where traditional alpine crosses commemorate climbers who reached the peak.

The ascent to Knoten summit requires proper mountaineering equipment and takes approximately four hours from the nearest parking area at Untere Valentinalm.

The summit offers views of both the Dolomites and the Hohe Tauern mountain ranges, with more than 100 visible peaks on clear winter days.
