The Keeskopf , a mountain with a height of 3081 m above sea level. A. , is located in the Schober group of the Hohe Tauern in Austria . The summit is exactly on the borderline between East Tyrol and Carinthia .
The Keeskopf was formerly also known as the Steinkarspitze and in the Gradental Seekopf . On the ascent to the Lienzer Hütte in the Debanttal , the Keeskopf shows itself as a beautifully shaped peak, which does not suggest that the summit is one of the easiest three-thousanders in the Schobergruppe.
When the weather is clear, you can enjoy the impressive view of the Hochschober ( 3240 m above sea level ), the namesake of the Schober group, as well as the Glödis ( 3206 m above sea level ), also called the "Matterhorn of the Schober group", from the summit . enjoy. The view to the Großglockner is blocked by the red button in the northwest.

The normal ascent leads from a yellow signpost (approx. 200 m north-east of the Niedere Gradenscharte ) first north-west over glacier cuts , then through increasingly steep rocky terrain ( sure-footedness required) on the eastern ridge to the summit (walking time approx. 0.75 hours from the signpost). This normal ascent is relatively easy to climb in dry and snow-free conditions. However, the ascent on the eastern ridge is only marked by cairns , which are not always easy to spot in this area, especially not when visibility is poor. In addition, various routes are marked in this way in the lower area.
The junction to the ascent to the summit (yellow signpost approx. 2820 m) can be reached either from the Adolf-Noßberger-Hütte ( 2488 m above sea level ) in about an hour, or from the Lienzer hut ( 1977 m above sea level ) via the Noßberger Weg and the Niedere Gradenscharte ( 2796 m above sea level ) in about 2½ hours.
