The French horn is 2702 m above sea level. A. high, massive mountain on the main Alpine ridge in the Schladminger Tauern on the border between Salzburg and Styria . What is particularly striking is the mighty, approximately 1.5 km long north ridge , which slopes down into a steep rock face both to the east and to the west. It separates the two cirques of Klafferkessel and Lämmerkar in the west from the Sonntagskar in the east.
Development
The ascent of the mountain poses a certain challenge. The easiest ascent leads from the Preintalerhütte through the Lämmerkar and over steep gravel fields up to the Waldhorntörl west of the summit. From there, a path leads over the west ridge into the west flank and again steeply up to the ridge cutting edge, then exposed over a rock nose into the south flank, until the south ridge is reached directly above its deepest notch. The last meters lead over the south ridge to the summit.
Crossing to the southeastern Kieseck ( 2681 m ), from where you can return to the Preintalerhütte via the Sonntagskar, is only recommended for experienced mountain hikers.
