It lies on the border between the communities of Matrei in East Tyrol and Prägraten am Großvenediger . Neighboring peaks are the Vorderer Seekopf in the northeast, the Hohe Achsel in the east and the Kleine Hexenkopf in the south. The first ascent took place on August 13, 1898 by H. v. Ficker and L. Prochaska.

Promotion opportunities
The Hintere Seekopf is an alpine subordinate mountain, but also serves as a winter destination. The normal route to the Hinteren Seekopf takes place via the Eisseehütte and the Eissee, whereby the ascent then leads pathless to the east over Steinhalden in the direction of the Seekopfscharte. Before the beginning of the Garaneberkees, the ascent is left keeping in a straight line to the summit of the Hinteren Seekopf. The Vordere Seekopf can also be climbed from the Hinteren Seekopf via the almost level, around 500 meter long connecting ridge.
As an alternative, the Seekopf can also be climbed from the Wallhorntörl in the same way as the first ascent, whereby the Garaneberkees is climbed here and shortly afterwards the snow peak is reached in the north-west arch (difficulty I according to UIAA ). Another variant is the south ridge, which was used as a descent by the first climbers. The consistently not steep rock ridge from the Seekopfscharte to the summit is chosen (difficulty I according to UIAA). In addition, the ascent can take place via the east ridge, which was first climbed on July 28, 1905 by the first to climb the Vorderen Seekopf. (Difficulty II according to UIAA).
