Mühlsturzhörner

Mühlsturzhörner are two peaks in the Berchtesgaden Alps reaching 2,234 and 2,141 meters above sea level. These summits form part of the Reiter Alm massif and feature multiple climbing routes for different skill levels.

These summits were developed as climbing destinations during the 20th century alpine boom. A major rockfall occurred in 1999 when the smaller peak shed significant rock volume.

The mountains stand as a testament to German alpine exploration, with numerous climbing routes established by pioneering mountaineers throughout the 20th century.

The main approach comes from the northwest via Mayrbergscharte pass and requires solid climbing ability. Good footwear and alpine experience are essential, particularly given changeable mountain weather.

The South Edge route was first climbed in 1936 and remains a notable accomplishment in climbing history. This challenging line is one of several demanding routes that draw experienced climbers to the peaks.
