Kammspitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kammspitz (also Kammspitze ) is at 2139 m the highest peak in the Kemet Mountains , a karstified mountain range east of the Dachstein group . It is the most striking elevation, structured by sharp ridge peaks, in an approximately 30 km long mountain range, which extends from the Hohe Dachstein (2997 m) due east to the Grimming (2351 m). To the south the mountain falls steeply into the Ennstal , while to the north it merges over the Kammalm and the Miesbodensee into a karstified , predominantly wooded plateau with peaks between 1600 and 1800 m.

In the course of the mountain range lies the Stoderzinken (2048 m), a few km west of which a toll road leads. To the east, the mountain drops over 1000 m into the Salzatal , which with its reservoir forms a deep cut in the further course of the mountains to the Grimming.

The usual tour begins in Gröbming in the Ennstal and leads steeply over the sun-exposed south side to the summit, which offers a wide view of the Dachstein, the Ausseer Land and south into the Ennstal and the Schladminger Tauern . In the further course you descend to Miesboden and return westwards over the incision of the ovens into the Ennstal.

The sight of the jagged ridge of the crest of Bad Mitterndorf , which also gave it its name, is particularly impressive .
