The (also: the) Freihut is a 2625  m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Stubai Alps in Tyrol .

Location and surroundings

The Freihut lies above Gries im Sellrain and forms the last summit of the ridge that separates the Lüsenstal from the Gleirschtal to the west . The main summit is preceded by two lower peaks, the Kleine Freihut ( , 2582  m above sea level ) in the north and the Jöchlegg ( , 2107  m above sea level ) in the northeast. The summit cross is not at the highest point, but on an elevation around 300 m northeast of it. A green plateau spreads out below the summit. The municipal boundary between Gries im Sellrain and St. Sigmund im Sellrain runs through Jöchlegg, Kleine Freihut and Freihut .

geology

The Freihut is made up mainly of granodiorite gneiss  and amphibolite . On the east flank, the Steinlehnen slope , a landslide area , falls from Jöchlegg into Lüsenstal. The active area, inclined at 30 to 40 °, extends over an altitude difference of around 800 m. The slope repeatedly threatened the settlements below and Praxmarer Straße, in 1852 three farms were destroyed by rockfalls. In 2003 a 400 meter long and 15 meter high dam was built to protect the houses from falling rocks.

Climbs

The ascent of the Freihut can be done either from St. Sigmund through the Gleirschtal, over the western flank and the Kleine Freihut or from Praxmar in the Lüsenstal with a gentle incline along the eastern flank. Julius Pock and August Endres from Innsbruck were the first to climb the mountain on June 7, 1888.
