The Kempsenkopf is a 3093 m above sea level. A. high ridge elevation in the Glockner group of the Hohe Tauern in the Austrian state of Salzburg south of Kaprun . It is the northernmost named elevation over 3000 meters in the Alps and thus in all of Europe, but is only separated from the immediately neighboring and slightly higher Bauernbrachkopf ( 3125 m ) by an unnamed notch 16 meters deep . Because of this low notch height , the Kempsenkopf is not undisputedly an independent summit, which means that the role of the northernmost three-thousand-meter peak in Europe would fall to the Bauernbrachkopf.
Ascent
From the Gleiwitzer Hütte and from the Mooserboden reservoir there is a partly secured path to the Kempsenkopf. The connection between these two paths is part of the Gleiwitzer Höhenweg . The two paths meet a few meters north of the highest elevation. Ascent time 3 to 4 hours each. From the highest elevation, the path continues over the Bauernbrachkopf to the Kleiner and Hohen Tenn over its northwest ridge. The Kempsenkopf is crossed on the normal route when climbing the Hohe Tenn .
