Lamkopf, Mountain summit in Salzburg, Austria

Lamkopf is a mountain summit in the Berchtesgaden Alps with rocky slopes and steep sections that define the Hochkönig massif. The terrain presents varied conditions as elevation changes, requiring attention during the ascent.

The first summit cross on the Lamkopf was erected in 1960. It was destroyed by lightning in 2011, and a new cross was put up in 2013. The peak lies in the Hochkönig massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps, in the Zell am See district of Salzburg.

The name Lamkopf also appears as Lammkopf, and the summit is marked by a cross first put up in 1960. Lightning destroyed that cross in 2011, and a new one was erected in 2013. The peak stands above the Übergossene Alm, the glacier area crossed by the route from the Hochkönig to the Hochseiler.

The ascent follows a northern route connected to Hochkönig and Übergossene Alm, with clear markings along the path. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for variable weather conditions at this elevation.

The first summit cross, put up in 1960, was struck and destroyed by lightning in 2011; a new cross followed in 2013. The peak is also known as Lammkopf, and the easy route from the north runs via the crossing between the Hochkönig and the Hochseiler or the Übergossene Alm.
