The Hohe Eichham (also Hocheichham ) is at a height of 3371 m above sea level. A. the dominant mountain of the southeastern Venediger group in the Hohe Tauern in Austria . The summit sends out four ridges towards north, east, south and southwest. The Nilkees is embedded to the southeast, the Hexenkees is to the northeast . The Großer Eichhamkees in the northwest and the Kleiner Eichhamkees in the southwest have melted to insignificant remains of ice . The Eichhamturm ( 3255 m above sea level A. ) on. In the extension of the north ridge is the Große Hexenkopf ( 3313 m above sea level ), which is about 600 meters as the crow flies from Hohen Eichham. In Ostgrat is the Low Eichham ( 3247 m above sea level. A. ), which branches off at this pre-peak is the southeast ridge Connection Ridge to Sail head , the deepest cut of this ridge is the Sail charter ( 3080 m above sea level. A. ). The Hohe Eichham is likely to havebeen climbedas part of the military land survey using triangulation in the 1850s. The summit received its first tourist visit on July 16, 1887 from Berlin alpinists Carl Benzien and Hermann Meynow via the south ridge. They were run by the Zillertal Hans Hörhager from Dornauberg .
Tourist development
The usual ascent starts from the Bonn-Matreier hut . First you climb the Sailkopf on its normal route , then you descend about 130 meters in altitude on its northwest ridge into the Sailscharte. Now the Nilkees is crossed westwards to the Eichhamscharte ( 3125 m above sea level ). Alternatively, you can also climb from the Nilljochhütte ( 1990 m above sea level ) directly through the Nile Valley to the Nilkees and the Eichhamscharte. From the Eichhamscharte you now climb up the southern flank, whereby the walking area extends up to about 3200 meters. The key points of the following climbing form a short, steep wall step and the climbing down into a notch shortly before the summit construction ( II ). The route is quite exposed, it can be secured with bolts . It takes about 3½ hours from the Bonn-Matreier Hütte to the summit. When crossing the Nilkeeses is crevasses rather low, but may vary depending on conditions crampons and pimples be advantageous.
