The Schober Group is a mountain group in the central Eastern Alps . Together with the Ankogel Group , the Goldberg Group , the Glockner Group , the Kreuzeck Group , the Granatspitz Group , the Venediger Group , the Villgraten Mountains and the Rieserferner Group , the Schober Group forms the large group of the Hohe Tauern . The Schobergruppe is located in Austria in the federal states of Carinthia and Tyrol . The highest peak is the Petzeck with a height of 3283  m above sea level. A.

The Schober Group is located south of the main Alpine ridge, in the central part of the Hohe Tauern. The namesake is the mountain Hochschober , 3240  m above sea level. A. The Felbertauernstraße runs to the west of the group , to the south is Lienz , the district capital of East Tyrol, and to the east is the southern approach to the famous Großglockner High Alpine Road .

The Schober group stands - at least for mountaineers and tourists north of the Alps - somewhat in the shadow of the more famous neighboring groups ( Glockner group , Venediger group ). However, with its distinctive peaks, its abundance of lakes and its characteristic landscape, the group has special features that justify a visit on its own.

The Schober Group is part of the Hohe Tauern National Park . In 1981, Carinthia brought the Schober group together with the Glockner group as the first two mountain groups in the national park.

Concept history

The concept and name of the Schober group was introduced in 1845 by Adolf Schaubach in his standard work The German Alps as the Glockner-Schober group , which in addition to the Schober group also included the Glockner and Granatspitz group. Schaubach chose the name after the Hochschober , which in his opinion is the highest mountain south of the Peischlachtörl. When Carl Sonklar introduced the Hohe Tauern mountain range in 1866, he also took over the Schober group from Schaubach as an independent sub-group.
