The Rupprechtseck is 2591  m above sea level. A. high mountain of the Schladminger Tauern in Styria .

Location and landscape

The Rupprechtseck is located south of the main Alpine ridge of the Niedere Tauern , between Etrachgraben in the west and Schödergraben in the east.

Its ridge starts at the Sauofen , and from the saddle of the Toreben ( Gospel gap , 2174  m ) sweeps southwards. To the north of the Rupprechtseck rises, along the Eetrachian Spreitzerkar, the Dachleiteck ( 2463  m ). To the south, along the Nebelkar on the Schödergrab side, follows the Arlfeld  ( 2489  m ). Together with the Brennerfeldeck  ( 2507  m ), Feldeck  ( 2480  m ) and Trübeck  ( 2367  m ) peaks , the Rupprechtseck forms a closed massif. This then drops suddenly towards Krakaudorf and Schöder . At the saddle of Scharnigl in the Murparalleltal (approx.  1200  m ) follows behind it the massif of the Stolzalpe of the Murberge , which extends to the Mur.

The Rupprechtseck itself is not very concise in this ridge.

Rise

The normal route leads from the Grafenhütte (Grafenalm) in the Etrachgraben over the Spreitzerkar. A traverse is marked along the ridge, which begins at the Favorner waterfall , with further ascents from the Etrachgraben.
