The Oberwölzer Schoberspitze is a 2423 m above sea level. A. high mountain of the Wölzer Tauern in Styria .
Location and character of the mountain
The Oberwölzer Schoberspitze is the third highest peak of the Wölzer Tauern after the Rettlkirchspitze and the Greim . It rises in the center of the group, about one kilometer south of the main Alpine ridge . Its summit is the highest point of the new municipality of Oberwölz in the Murau district, which was created in 2015 by amalgamation .
The narrow summit ridge of the Schoberspitze runs roughly in a north-south direction. When viewed from the north and south in particular, it therefore has the shape of a striking, slender pyramid.
Name of the mountain
The name (or part of the name) Schober for mountains, which is often used in the Alps , always refers to their shape. Schober means heap in general and is also a special dialect for haystack .
To distinguish it from the Schoberspitze ( 2126 m above sea level ), which rises about 13 kilometers further north in the Planneralm region, also in the Wölzer Tauern, the Alpine Club Guide Niedere Tauern chooses the name Oberwölzer Schoberspitze . The Bergwander-Atlas Steiermark, on the other hand, decides on the name Wölzer Schoberspitze .
Climbs
The marked standard path to the Oberwölzer Schoberspitze begins at the Neunkirchner Hütte , an unmanaged self-catering hut of the Austrian Alpine Club in the furthest Eselsberger Graben, and leads first northwards and later north-eastwards to the summit. The upper part of the route leads exposed over steep slopes and requires surefootedness. Walking time: about 2½ hours.
On the last 30 minutes of the ascent, a more direct, but somewhat demanding variant is possible via the south ridge; it requires simple block climbing in the 1st level of difficulty UIAA .
The unmarked climbs over the north ridge and the north-east ridge each have climbing points up to the 3rd level of difficulty UIAA and are therefore reserved for people with extensive alpine experience.
