The Kalkkögel are a mountain range that belongs to the Stubai Alps in Tyrol , Austria . The highest point of the Kalkkögel is the Schlicker Seespitze with 2804 m above sea level. A .; the easternmost mountain is the Ampferstein .
geology
The Kalkkögel consist of Mesozoic sediments , such as those found elsewhere west of the Wipptal in the Stubai Alps, for example in the Serleskamm or in the area of the Tribulaune. In the Kalkkögel area, there are sediments from the time from the Permian - Triassic border up to the Norium of the Upper Triassic, which rest on the crystalline base. For the most part, however, these sediments consist of Dolomites of the Middle and Upper Triassic. These dolomites are separated into a lower and an upper dolomite by a ten-meter-thick band of slightly metamorphic slate , the so-called Raibler layers . Even if this band is only thin, it creates a clear morphological structure. At the base of the Mesozoic sediments there is a sequence of conglomerate and sandstone . In this layer, which is a maximum of a few tens of meters thick, there are iron ore deposits , the most important of which was mined south of the Burgstall and formed the basis of the tool industry that still exists today in the Stubai Valley . In terms of external appearance, the Kalkkögel resemble the Dolomites , which is why they are often referred to as the "North Tyrolean Dolomites".

Development and conservation
The Kalkkögel are a hiking and climbing area and, with the Schlick on the south flank, have a ski area that is accessible from Fulpmes , and one in the north, the Axamer Lizum , which only leads into the inntal side chains of the Kalkkögel ( Salfainskamm , Saile ). The Kalkkögel can also be reached from Grinzens via the Kemater Alm and the Adolf-Pichler-Hütte . Further bases are the Starkenburger Hütte via Neustift and the Birgitzköpflhütte , which can be reached from the Lizum and the Mutterer Alm via lifts.
In 1983 the Kalkkögel quiet area was established, which covers almost all of the Kalkkögel and the surrounding area with 77.7 km². In Tyrolean nature conservation law, quiet areas are a tool to put areas less under general nature protection and more under a construction freeze: There are plans to merge the Schlick 2000 and Axamer Lizum ski areas , which the Austrian Alpine Association and various other groups see as a threat to the quiet area. From 1956 to 1983 there was a nature reserve in the Mutterer Alpe sub- area .
