The Große Landeggkopf (outdated spelling Landeckkopf , also Großer Landeggkogel ) is 2900  m above sea level. A. high mountain peaks in the main Alpine ridge of the Granatspitz Group on the border between East Tyrol and Salzburg . The Große Landeggkopf was originally named after the Granatspitzgruppe, which was initially called the Landeckgruppe . Karl Hofmann introduced the mountain group under this name in 1871 because he considered the mountain to be the branching point of the group. However, the name Landeck group could not prevail due to the low height of the mountain for the mountain troops and was replaced for the first time in 1873 by garnet group .

location

The Große Landeggkopf is a peak in the northern central area of ​​the Granatspitz group. It is located on the Tauern main ridge on the state border with Salzburg . It lies between the Amertaler Höhe ( 2841  m above sea level ) in the southwest and the Rabenstein ( 2902  m above sea level ) in the southeast. The north ridge of the Großer Landeggkopf also leads to the Kleiner Landeggkopf ( 2717  m above sea level ). The Große Landeggkopf is separated from the Amertaler Höhe by the Amertaler Scharte ( 2718  m above sea level ) and from the Weiten Scharte ( 2697  m above sea level ) from the Rabenstein. South of the summit, the St. Pöltner Ostweg runs past the summit, where the Karl-Fürst-Hütte is also located. The Landeggkees is located to the northwest and northeast of the Großer Landeggkogel.

Tourist development

As the first known tourist, Hans Donabaum was led by Franz Maier over the southwest ridge to the summit on July 10, 1908. Wilhelm Brandenstein carried out the first documented crossing of the mountain along the main Alpine ridge on August 13, 1926.

Climbs

The ascent to the Großer Landeggkopf is only possible without a path, whereby the short ascent from the St. Pöltner Ostweg leading south of the Landeggkopf over the southwest ridge is the easiest and shortest variant ( UIAA II ). The ascent from the Weiten Scharte and over the southeast ridge ( UIAA II ) presents a similar difficulty . All other variants (west flank, north-east face from the Weite Scharte, direct north-east face and the north ridge from the Landeggkopfscharte) are much more demanding with a difficulty of UIAA III .
