The Kristallwandkees is a glacier in the Gschlößkamm in the Lienz district (East Tyrol). It is located east of the crystal wall .
The Kristallwandkees extends between the northeast ridge of the Kristallwand to the Löbbenkopf and the southeast ridge of the Kristallwand. It also had a small area in the early 1870s and extended up to an altitude of around 2700 meters. While at that time the Kristallwandkees in the northeast almost reached as far as the Löbbenkopf and collided with the Frosnitzkees in the southeast on the southeast ridge , it has shrunk considerably since the middle of the 19th century, especially in the peripheral areas , as the glacier retreated .
