The Atterkogel is an 1826  m above sea level. A. high summit in Ausseerland in Styria . It forms a striking rock pyramid in the Dead Mountains above Lake Augst . The mountain, made of Tressenstein limestone from the Upper Jura , drops steeply to the south towards Lake Augst. An equally steep drop points to the north into the Kar des Bräuning - Kuhntal. Towards the west, an only slightly pronounced saddle forms the transition to the higher Greimuth .

Development

On the 9 km long Loser Panorama Road , opened in 1972, the mountain can be driven almost to the top. There is a spacious parking lot in front of the Loser restaurant at 1600  m from which several tours can be undertaken. At 1643  m , in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant, there is the Augstsee - an attractive hiking destination with a short walking time.

Approach

  • From the Loser mountain restaurant, the marked path no. 256 leads past Augstsee towards Loserfenster and Hochanger . Even before the Loser window, a narrow, unmarked path branches off to the north a little west of the Augstsee without a sign and leads to the saddle between Greimuth and Atterkogel. The further ascent to the summit takes place in unpaved terrain. First you cross steep, slightly exposed, south-facing slopes of the meadows and then you get to the summit at 1826  m via the steep west flank in a narrow, cut-out Latschengasse . An ascent is only possible for sure-footed and experienced hikers. Walking time around 90 minutes.

A summit book is available at the summit of the Atterkogel.
