Schoberriegel, Mountain summit in Reichenau and Albeck, Austria.
Schoberriegel is a mountain in the Nockberge range that rises to 2,208 meters at the boundary between two municipalities. The peak features steep rocky faces on its western and eastern sides, while its northern ridge slopes more gently upward.
The Schoberriegel lies on the border between the municipalities of Reichenau and Albeck. A disused airfield from the Second World War is located slightly southeast of the summit, the only wartime feature recorded on the mountain.
The summit holds a traditional climbing register where mountaineers record their ascents, a long-standing Alpine custom for documenting mountain achievements. This practice connects visitors across time and creates a shared bond among those who have reached the same peak.
Marked routes reach the summit from three directions: from Turracher See to the north, and from the south via the Gruft or over the western flank. The northern approach follows a gently inclined ridge, while the west and east flanks are steep and rocky. The summit cross holds a register for entries.
Southeast of the summit, at roughly 2,200 metres, lies a disused airfield dating from the Second World War. Hikers heading for the cross and summit book rarely notice the old field on the ridge toward the Gruft.
