History and Development

The name Kulm comes from the hilltop shape of the mountain, which is mainly made up of Allgäu layers. During the Second World War , the Kulmkogel marked the border between the Gauen Oberdonau and Styria, and after the end of the war the border between the British and US occupation zones . The survey is in the Tauplitz cadastral area , which has been part of Bad Mitterndorf since 2015.

The Kulm, the largest natural ski jump in the world, is located on the northern slope of the Kulmkogel . The first jumping competition took place in 1950, world championships in 1975 , 1986 , 1996 , 2006 and 2016 .
