The Speikkogel is a 1992  m above sea level. A. high summit of the Eisenerzer Alps above the Schoberpass .

Location and landscape

The mountain is located between the forest on the Schober pass and Radmer . It is located in the main ridge of the Eisenerzer Alps, west of the Zeiritzkampel  ( 2125  m above sea level ). It is separated from this by the saddle at the Antonikreuz (approx.  1880  m ), with the Hinkareck  ( 1932  m above sea level ) rising in between . The saddle to this is 1870  m high. In the other direction, the ridge goes over the Seekartörl ( 1875  m above sea level ) to the Lahnerleitenspitze  ( 2027  m above sea level ).

The Sulzbach , the tributary of the Liesing on the Schoberpass, flows southwards . The Palten rises to the southwest . To the north, below the Jakobsleiten in the Seekar, the Pfefferwinkelgraben goes as one of the headwaters to the Radmer Bach and Erzbach . The Liesing goes to the Mur , Palten and Erzbach to the Enns . This makes the summit part of the main watershed of the Alps .

The summit is on the municipal boundary of Wald am Schoberpass to Radmer bei Eisenerz (there is another Speikkogel ). The name refers to the (real) Speik ( Valeriana celtica ), a plant for a valuable fragrance that was traded in the Orient especially via Judenburg and Venice.

geology

The summit is formed from Blasseneck - porphyroid of the main ridge of the Eisenerzer Alps, which belongs to the Noric nappes of the Grauwackenzone . This formation is interpreted as the deposit of ash streams from an ancient volcanism; the date is unclear and is placed in the Devonian (around 400 million years ago).

Tours

The Eisenerzer-Alpen-Kammweg (No. 673) runs over the summit . The ascent on marked paths is via the Antonikreuz (from Wald or Radmer ) or the Leobner Törl  ( 1739  m above sea level ) west of the Lahnerleitenspitze (from Vorwald or Wald, or from Johnsbach ).
