The Greifenberg is a 2618 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Schladminger Tauern on the border between the Austrian federal states of Styria and Salzburg . Due to its location between the Gollinghütte and Preintalerhütte , it is one of the most visited peaks in the Schladminger Tauern.
Location and surroundings
The Greifenberg is located in the central part of the Schladminger Tauern directly on the Tauern main ridge. To the south or southwest the ridge runs over Pöllerhöhe ( 2601 m ) and Großes Gangl ( 2602 m ) to Hochgolling , to the east and northeast over the Klafferschneide to the Waldhorn . To the west of the summit runs the Steinriesental , to the northeast lie the Klafferkessel and the Inner and Outer Lämmerkar .
Geology and geomorphology
The summit and the surrounding area are made up of migmatic paragneiss and are part of the Schladming crystalline complex . Quaternary rubble remains are repeatedly deposited on the wall feet . Morphologically , the north side of the Greifenberg is particularly interesting. This is determined by the Klafferkessel nature reserve . It is a glacial embossed Karlandschaft to around 2,300 m , which is filled with more than 30 lakes. The largest of these are the Upper and Lower Klaffersee and the Rauenbergsee . In addition to the inclusion of amphibolites and serpentinites , moraine material is to be found here. There are also several lakes on the south side that can be understood as remains of glaciers , including the Zwerfenbergsee .
Ascent
The Greifenberg is located on the Central Alpine Trail (Austrian long-distance hiking trail 02) and is therefore one of the most visited peaks in the Schladminger Tauern. The most important bases for an ascent are the Gollinghütte to the west and the Preintalerhütte to the northeast of the summit. The ascent over the Lungau side is rather rare. All climbs require a certain degree of surefootedness. In winter, the mountain is very popular with ski tourers .
