The Hafner Group is a mountain group in the Hohe Tauern . It is the easternmost subgroup of the Ankogel group .

Location and landscape

The border between Carinthia ( Spittal district ) and Salzburg ( Lungau , Pongau ) and the watershed between Mur and Salzach ( Grossarltaler Ache ) in the north and Lieser and Malta in the south run through the Hafner ridge between Arlscharte and Katschberg .

The group includes the easternmost three-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps: the highest and eponymous summit is the Große Hafner  ( 3,076  m above sea level ). Other high peaks are Lanischhafner  ( 3018  m above sea level ), Lanischeck  ( 3022  m above sea level ), Gr oßer or Malteiner Sonnblick  ( 3030  m above sea level ) and Mittlerer Sonnblick  ( 3000  m above sea level ).

The Pöllatal , which divides the eastern part into two ridges, runs through the middle of the Hafner Group , a northern, sharper ridge of the Kareck  ( 2481  m above sea level ) to the Katschberg, and a larger southern train with the Schober  ( 2976  m above sea level) . ), which runs towards Gmünd .

The southwestern part of Hafner group by the Malta High Alpine Road opened up, originally a Kraftwerkstraße the Malta power plant . On the Lungau side there are several small Keese lakes and the Rotgüldensee , which has been expanded to become the Lungau power plant group's reservoir .
