The red button is 3281 m above sea level. A. the second highest mountain in the Schobergruppe in the Hohe Tauern . Its summit is on the border between East Tyrol and Carinthia . To the Petzeck , the highest peak of the Schobergruppe, the Red Button is only two meters short. Nevertheless, the level of awareness of this summit is far less than that of the Hochschobers or the Glödis . This is probably due to the fact that the mountain can not be seen from either the Kals valley or the front Debant valley .
Surname
According to Pohl , the name can be traced back to the reddish color of the rock, especially in the evening sun.
