The Gumpeneck is a 2226 m above sea level. A. high mountain of the Wölzer Tauern in Styria .
Location and character of the mountain
The Gumpeneck is the highest and most distinctive mountain in the northwestern part of the Wölzer Tauern. The stately, pyramid-shaped summit clearly towers above its surroundings and can also be clearly seen from many places in the Ennstal between Gröbming and Stainach . Thanks to its location near the northern edge of the Niedere Tauern , it offers a comprehensive panorama, with a particularly impressive view of the main Alpine ridge in the south as well as the Dachstein massif and the Grimming in the Northern Limestone Alps on the other side of the Ennstal.
The Gumpeneck belongs to the Political Expositur Gröbming in the Liezen district . The border between the municipality of Öblarn and the newly created municipality of Sölk, which was merged in 2015, runs over its summit .
Due to the beauty of the landscape and the summit panorama, the Gumpeneck and its immediate surroundings have long been popular destinations. In the first half of the 19th century, Archduke Johann stayed repeatedly on the Gumpenalm and in the summit region.
Climbs
The Gumpeneck can be reached on several marked routes.
- The standard ascent from west-northwest begins a little above Großsölk . Past the Koller farmstead on a cart path to the beautiful weather hut , which is often managed even in winter , then steeper up to the floors of the Gumpenalm . To the southwest on the ridge from the Salzleck to the Blockfeldspitz and finally from the west steeply to the summit. Walking time: around 3 hours.
An alternative route leads more directly through the Gumpenkar instead of the Salzleck and the Blockfeldspitz with the same expenditure of time .
Descent variant: from the Gumpeneck steeply down to the north and to the summit of the Zinkens , 2042 m above sea level A. (Rough boulder terrain, surefootedness required). Then on the long ridge over the Schrettenkarspitz to the northwest to the Schönwetterberg ; from there in a sharp left turn back to the Gumpenalm. Great view of the Grimming; Additional time required compared to the normal route: about 1 hour. - A long ascent from the north begins on the Schattenberg above Öblarn and leads over the Schupfenalm to the Schönwetterberg, and finally over the Schrettenkarspitz and the Zinken to the summit. Walking time: around 4 hours.
- The ascent to the south begins in Fleiß in the Sölktal and leads over the Leitneralm, an easy but steep route to the summit. Walking time: 3 to 3½ hours.
In winter and spring, the Gumpeneck is a very popular destination for ski tours . The most common ascent largely follows the summer path from Großsölk; the descent usually takes place directly through the Gumpenkar.
Also snowshoeing on the Gumpeneck are possible, but require due to the length and the large difference in height in good physical condition and endurance.
