The Brietkogel is 2316 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Salzburg Tennengebirge and belongs to the district of St. Johann im Pongau ( Austria ).
The Brietkogel gets its name from a narrow depression in the Karst plateau ("the Briet"), to which it falls northeast in a nearly 400 m high rock face . This steep face runs through to the neighboring Schartwand ( 2339 m ) and turns in a semicircle to the cirque of the Grießkogel ( 2270 m ). In between, the steep gully of the Briet ends in three karst gullies and a few caves, over which the plateau continues as a so-called "plate".
The two peaks are not accessible by climbing, but you can climb them on the relatively flat west side, where the well-marked path from the Tauern or Eiskogel to the Bleikogel leads 200 meters lower.
On this path, which leads up from the south ( Werfenweng ) over the Tauernscharte ( 2109 m ), there are some karst caves and the Eiskogel cave . Where it forks at Schubbühel ( 2334 m ) to the east (Bleikogel) and west ( Wenger Scharte ) and merges into the wasteland of the "Platte", caves, gorges and some sinkholes can be seen again near the path .
Other peaks within a radius of 1 to 2 km have similar heights as the Brietkogel: the limestone of Napf ( 2167 m ) and Tauernkogel ( 2247 m ) protruding far south from the mountains , the double peaks of the Eiskogel ( 2321 m and 2278 m ) , the Teufelskirchl ( 2218 m ) , which can only be climbed from the east, and the massif of Hochbrett ( 2312 m ), Grieß- and Bleikogel ( 2411 m ), the second highest peak of the Tennengebirge, with its folded rock faces . In the midst of this variety of peaks, rock formations and karst phenomena , the mountaineer experiences all the transitions between desolate and rich high mountain landscape.
