Plenge, Mountain summit in Carnic Alps, Austria
Plenge is a mountain summit in the Carnic Alps that rises to about 2,373 meters. The peak stands above Lesachtal Valley and commands views across the surrounding alpine landscape and neighboring summits.
The Carnic Alps received their name from an ancient Roman province called Carnia and the local peoples who lived in this region. This historical connection shapes the identity of the entire mountain range.
The mountain holds significance in the Alpine traditions of Carinthia, marked by a summit cross that follows the regional custom of religious monuments.
Climbing to the summit requires advanced mountaineering skills and proper alpine equipment. Visitors should prepare for sudden weather changes and steep sections along the way.
The mountain is composed of limestone and dolomite rock displaying distinctive karst formations. This geological structure creates a varied terrain with weathered rock faces and natural fissures.
