Concept history

Concept and name of Ankogelgroup was in 1845 by Adolf Schaubachhütte in his standard work The German Alpine as a group of Ankogls introduced the Ankogelgroup however, was still narrower. The Arlscharte  ( 2252  m ) served as the eastern border and the Korntauern  ( 2459  m ) as the western border . Schaubach chose the name after the Ankogel , which in his opinion is the highest mountain in the group. In its current boundaries up to Murtörl  ( 2260  m ), the Ankogel group was first found in 1887 in the important division of the Eastern Alps by August Böhm von Böhmersheim . It can also be found in the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps  (AVE) according to Moriggl (1924) and Grassl (1978).

Boundary and neighboring mountain groups

Together with the Goldberg Group , the Glockner Group , the Schober Group , the Kreuzeck Group , the Granatspitz Group , the Venediger Group , the Villgraten Mountains and the Rieserferner Group , the Ankogel Group forms the large group of the Hohe Tauern . The Ankogel group is the easternmost part of it. The Niedere Tauern begins further east .

The group extends after the AVE from the Niedere Tauern Pass (Mallnitzer / Naßfelder Tauern) between Gasteinertal and Mölltal in the west to the Murtörl between Grossarltal and the uppermost Ennstal (Muhrtal) in the east. Other classifications see the western border in the Hohen (Korn-) Tauern , east of the Niederen relatively close to the Ankogel.

The Ankogel Group borders the following other mountain groups in the Alps:

structure

According to Trimmel , the Ankogel group is divided into the subgroups of the central Ankogelstock and the Gamskarlspitz , the Hochalmspitz , the Hafner and the Reisseck groups . The Gamskarlspitzengruppe lies to the west from the Korntauern , the Hochalmspitz group in the southern ridge between Möll and Maltatal from the Großelendscharte , then on the Kaponigtörl the Reißeckgruppe, and in the northwest of the Hafnergruppe from the Arlscharte , with the main ridge between Malta and Mur. The northern ridge between the outer Gastein and Grossarl also belongs to the central group.

With the border on the Korntauern the Gamskarlspitzengruppe falls to the Goldberggruppe. Otherwise, the Ankogel group can also be found in the narrower sense as the western group with the Ankogel and Hochalmspitze groups (and partly also Gamskarlspitze): Ankogel and Hochalmspitze are only slightly separated. This also includes the group around the Hölltorkogel above Badgastein. Hafner and Reisseck groups are then considered to be the other two independent groups (as in the international standardized division of the Alps, SOIUSA / IVOEA , groups 13–15 of the Tauern). The name Ankogel – Hochalmspitz Group (Ankogel – Hochalm Group) is used for the entire group as well as in the narrower sense .
