The Zinnkopf ( 1228 m above sea level ) is the highest point of the Sulzberg and a hiking mountain in Chiemgau ( Upper Bavaria ). The mountain is also the highest point in the municipality of Siegsdorf . It practically separates the valleys of the Red Traun and the White Traun . North of the municipality of Siegsdorf, the two rivers flow together to form the Traun River, which then continues to Traunstein.
His name did not get the mountain about the metal tin , but by the abundant growing on the mountain slopes horsetail .
The path from Siegsdorf (district: Hörgering ) is flat. You can only ride a bike up to the steep ascent of around 1,000 meters in altitude. An alternative route goes up from Wolfsberg via the Lechner Hut, which is located southeast of Siegsdorf at 795 meters above sea level on the eastern side of the summit. There you meet, below the steep ascent that then leads to the summit, on the path coming from the west from Hörgering.
Another alternative route leads from the southwest, from Ruhpolding , to the summit, and you can also hike up the mountain from the southeast, from Inzell .
The view is currently limited because of the trees on the mountain peak to the south, but you can see the neighboring peaks in the west, z. B. the Hochfelln or the Hochgern , the Chiemsee and the surrounding area look very good. When the weather is very clear, it is possible to see the southern Bavarian Forest .
Mountain bike races take place annually on the normal ascent .
The traditional costume association GTEV D'Heutauer from Siegsdorf organizes a pilgrimage to the Zinnkopf every year, where a holy mass is held on the summit.
A plaque was placed at the lower end of the summit cross in 1950 to commemorate those who fell in the First and Second World Wars.
