location
The Kreuzkopf is located in the center of the Schobergruppe on the municipality border between Heiligenblut am Großglockner in the west and Großkirchheim in the east. It is located between the Großer Hornkopf in the southwest ( 3251 m above sea level ) and the Kögele ( 3102 m above sea level ) in the northwest, with the Großer Hornkopf and Kreuzkopf being separated by the Hornscharte ( 2958 m above sea level ). The north ridge of the Kreuzkopf lies between the Kögele and Hornkopf, the east ridge falls into the valley of the Gradenbach and has a steep southern flank. The west wall slopes down to the Hornkees, which extends between the west ridge of the Großer Hornkopf, Kreuzkopf and Kögele. To the northeast is also the Innerkar , in which the Innerkarbach (also: Holderbach) rises. With the King James Hut to the west and the Gradensee past Adolf Noßberger Hut are two Schutzhüttenin near the crosshead.
Promotion opportunities
The technically easiest way to climb the Kreuzkopf is to climb from the Gradenalm to the east . From here you first turn west to the Innerkarbach gorge and climb up through the brook gorge. The east ridge of the Kreuzkopf, which borders the Innerkar to the south, has the Speikscharte, an entry point to the east ridge, which you partly have to climb over a chimney. The final ascent is first on the ridge, then on the left of the east ridge to the summit ( II ). The west face ( II ) and the north ridge over the Hornkees ( III- ) are alternative ascent or descent .
