The Seekarspitze is 2500 m above sea level. A. high summit in the Schladminger Tauern . Like some other Austrian mountains, it got its name from the mountain lake that formed in its northern cirque after the Ice Age .
The Seekarspitze massif has a Y-shaped ridge (the lake is located in it, so to speak), which is followed to the south by a 2300 m high (unnamed) summit and then the double peaks of Kitzbergspitze ( 2466 m ) and Predigtstuhl ( 2543 m ). To the east lies the Schönkar with only three small lakes, to the north (beyond the Seekar), only 700 meters away, the Ghagspitz ( 2431 m ), from where the ridge slowly descends to the Schönleitenscharte ( 2200 m ).
The rock consists largely of crystalline slate , which is why the massif - like the entire mountain group - is very water-rich. The best-known confirmation of this is the Klafferkessel , which is about ten kilometers to the west with its dozen lakes.
