Birkenkofel, Alpine summit in South Tyrol, Italy.
The Birkenkofel, also known as Croda dei Baranci, reaches an elevation of 2,922 meters within the Sexten Dolomites mountain range in northeastern Italy.
The mountain gained recognition as a significant observation point following the first documented tourist ascent conducted by mountaineer Paul Grohmann in the 19th century.
The mountain's dual naming in German and Italian reflects the linguistic diversity of South Tyrol, where both languages hold official status.
The challenging 16.5-kilometer mountain tour requires experienced hikers to navigate rocky ledges, wire-secured gullies, and steep chimneys during an 8-hour ascent.
From Lückele Scharte at 2,545 meters, climbers traverse a specific rocky ledge interrupted by a distinctive rock step before reaching the final summit ridge.
