The Brennkogel is 3018 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Glockner group of the Hohe Tauern in Austria . The summit is located in the main Alpine ridge , exactly on the borderline between Carinthia and Salzburg , approx. 2.5 km as the crow flies northwest of the Hochtor . On the partially marked normal ascent from the Hochtor and the Fuscher Törl, the summit is relatively easy to reach in dry and snow-free conditions. When the weather is good, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Großglockner ( 3798 m above sea level ) and the surrounding mountains from the summit .
geology
Directly on the ridge from the Hochtor to the Brennkogel (and below) there is a serpentinite that is traversed by a few quartz veins that represent the Tauern gold veins. This was mined for gold in the early modern period and was characterized by a particularly high content of free gold.
Climbs
Since the mountain can be climbed easily, it can be assumed that people have been on the summit since ancient times. The first literary ascent took place in 1800. The Leipzig botanist Christian Friedrich Schwägrichen stayed in the area on the occasion of his ascent to the Großglockner and climbed the Brennkogel.
- Today's normal route leads from the Hochtor ( 2576 m above sea level ), first on a marked path north-west over the Bretterscharte into the Brennkogelscharte ( 2637 m above sea level ). Leave path west of the Brennkogel Charter to the north and arrives at an increasingly steeper debris and block slope (some climber trails, surefootedness required) in a notch ( 2943 m above sea level. A. ) and in an easterly direction over a short back to Summit with a cross. (Walking time from the Hochtor: approx. 1½ hours)
- Another, more demanding, unmarked ascent that requires surefootedness and a head for heights is via the north-northeast ridge. The starting point is the Grossglockner High Alpine Road near the Fuscher Törl .
One of the most famous ski tours in the Salzburg region leads to the secondary peak, the Kloben ( 2938 m above sea level ).
