The Dreiecker (historically Feldspitze or Windbachspitze ) is a 2892 m high mountain on the border between Tyrol - South Tyrol - Salzburg in the Zillertal Alps .
Location and landscape
The triangle is located in the south-east of the Zillergrund in the rear Zillertal ( North Tyrol ), in the north of the rearmost Ahrntal near Prettau (South Tyrol), and at the south-western end of the Windbach Valley, a side valley of the Krimmler Achental in Oberpinzgau (Salzburg). It belongs to the Zillertal main ridge and the main Alpine ridge and forms the watershed between the Ziller , Salzach (both to the Inn ) and Ahr (to the Etsch ). The mountain flanks in South Tyrol are protected in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park .
To the west, the Zillertal main ridge continues over the 400 meters south-west (northern) Windbachspitze ( 2867 m ) and the Heiliggeistjöchl ( 2658 m ) to the Winkelkopf ( 2658 m ). To the east, the Schütttaler Joch (approx. 2620 m ) leads to the Schütttalkopf ( 2773 m ) and then on to the Venediger group of the Hohe Tauern . To the north, the few profiled Seewlaser Schneid (summit 2854 m above sea level ) stretches to the Seekarkopf ( 2912 m above sea level ) above the Eissee and into the Reichenspitz group .
From the former glaciation only located in the Zillergrund at the Windsbach tip the Dreieckerkees , an increasingly to rock glaciers expectant glacier rest with some cirque lakes; the Windbachkees no longer exist.
About the name
Originally, the mountain was called - from the Prettau side - Feldspitze or - from Krimml - Windbachspitze (this is the name the peak to the southwest today bears). The current name probably refers to the triangle between the two federal states of Austria and the Italian province, but was originally used for the summit to the east (Schütttalkopf), perhaps related to its shape. The name Dreiecker can be found at the end of the 19th century, Feldspitze until the middle of the 20th century. With the Krimmler Tauern and Heiliggeistjöchl there are important ancient mule passes of the main Alpine ridge on both sides.

the author doubts “that the name Dreiecker is justified in this tip, the Krimmler leaders give this name to the culmination of the Schütthaler Schneide located close to the Tauern [note: the Krimmler Tauern Joch] [note: today's Schütttalkopf] , indicated there as 2776 m], the shape of which actually presents itself as a regular obtuse-angled triangle. ”The names may have been swapped in the course of the land surveys, because the Windbachspitze is no longer at the end of the Windbach valley (the name was loud Kogler also used for the Seekarkopf / Keeskarkopf; the ice lake did not exist at the time either; western Windbachkees ). Kogel says that - "not understandable" to him - Prielmayer leads the mountain as "three peaks", so maybe all three, Dreiecker, Windbachspitze and Schütttalkopf, were seen as a mountain between Heiliggeistjöchl and Krimmltauernjoch;
Kogel also describes the Windbachkees , and reports of "mighty landslides" between Dreiecker and Keeskarkopf this year, and did not climb the Dreiecker summit. - ↑ Compare Dreiecketer for the Napfspitze 7½ km west.
