The Kellenspitze , often also called Kellespitze or Köllenspitze , is 2238  m above sea level. A. the highest mountain in the Tannheimer Berge . It is located in the Austrian state of Tyrol . Originally the mountain was popularly called Metzenarsch , but when Marie Friederike von Prussia visited the hunting lodge on the Tegelberg in 1854 and the surrounding peaks were explained to her, the field name In der Kelle am Fuß the mountain was used for a short time , as the original name, who pointed to a Matz , i.e. a prostitute , seemed inappropriate.

Surroundings

The tip is a good two kilometers as the crow flies northeast of Nesselwängle and seven kilometers west of Reutte . The Raintal extends to the north and the beginning of the Tannheimer Tal to the south . Neighboring mountains are the Hahnenkamm ( 1940  m ) in the south, the Gehrenspitze ( 2163  m ) in the east and the Gimpel ( 2176  m ) and the Rote Flüh ( 2111  m ) in the west .

geology

The Tannheimer Berge belong to the Northern Limestone Alps , the unfolding of which began about 140 million years ago in the course of the Alpine mountain formation in the Lower Cretaceous and has not yet completely subsided. In the course of the unfolding, various ceilings consisting of sedimentary rock (parts of the earth's crust pushed one on top of the other, detached from the subsurface ) piled up, which emerge as the Lechtal ceiling in the area of ​​the Kellenspitze. The summit and north side consist of Wetterstein limestone , while the southern flank consists of soft marl , the so-called Partnach layers . The rock of the Kellenspitze is partly very brittle and therefore relatively unattractive for climbers.

Base and ascent

The normal route for the easiest ascent of the Kellenspitze runs over the northwest side from the Nesselwängler Scharte . The base for this route is the Tannheimer Hütte at 1713 meters above sea level. From the hut the ascent leads steeply in a northerly direction over the gravel slopes of the Gimpelkar up to the saddle, then right up in easy climbing with difficulty level UIAA I , in places II, also with short wire rope insurance, in, according to literature, a good two hours to the summit. On the opposite side, a route from the Otto Mayr Hut in the north also leads over this gap in a good four hours to the summit of the Kellenspitze.
