Hochwanner

Local nameHochwanner
LocationGarmisch-Partenkirchen, Austria

At 2,744 metres, the Hochwanner is the second highest mountain in Germany after the Zugspitze. In addition the Hochwanner is the highest peak on the main ridge of the Wetterstein running from Gatterl to the Upper Wettersteinspitze above Mittenwald in an east–west direction. From the Hochwanner massif there is an all-round view of the Rein valley, the Leutasch valley in Austria, the Gais valley, the Zugspitze, the Mieming Chain, the Jubiläumsgrat, the Karwendel mountains and far into the central Alps.

Despite being the second highest peak in Germany and having a north face which drops about 1500 m the Hochwanner has remained a relatively unknown mountain. This is due to its relatively inaccessible location, behind the Alpspitze and hidden by the Höllentalspitze. The more widely known, but lower Watzmann is often wrongly cited as the second highest mountain in Germany.
