The Montscheinspitze (also Mondscheinspitze ) is 2106 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Vorkarwendel in Tyrol . It is the highest and at the same time one of the most beautiful peaks of the Vorkarwendel. The summit can be reached from the east via Pertisau and the Gerntal . The southerly ascent starts from the Riss valley starting at the Hagelhütten ( 1077 m above sea level ) via the Plumsjochhütte , the Plumsjoch ( 1921 m above sea level ) and the Montscheinsenke to the summit. The ascent is not easy from either side and requires experienced and sure-footed mountaineers, as there are places in the I and II degrees of difficulty on the UIAA scale .
etymology
The term monticinu (Montschein) is of Romanesque origin and means small mountain pasture . So the name of the mountain has no relation to the term moonshine , although the name of the mountain has sometimes been corrupted as "moonshine peak" in literature.
