Location and rise
Location in the Granatspitz group (above) and within the Alps (right). |
The marked normal ascent ( Karl-Schöttner-Weg ) leads in about 2 hours from the Sudetendeutschen Hütte ( 2656 m above sea level ) first through a cirque in a northerly direction up to the so-called Wellachköpf , then on the relatively wide ridge to in front of the summit structure of the Kleiner Muntanitz ( 3192 m above sea level ), now descending on its western flank (steel cable; surefootedness and a head for heights required) into a flat saddle, the so-called Kampl ( 3129 m above sea level ) and further over the simple scree slope to the summit of the Großer Muntanitz.
