Kröndlhorn
The Kröndlhorn is a high mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria. It is one of the highest mountains on the main crest of the Kitzbühel Alps. The state border between Tyrol and Salzburger Land runs over its summit. Location The Kröndlhorn rises north of the Salzach valley, southeast of the Kelchsau valley and southwest of the Windau valley. A secondary ridge to the main crest of the Kitzbühel Alps runs from the summit of the Kröndelhorn northwards in a curve. This ridge surrounds the cirque in which the mountain lake of the Reinkarsee has formed, at a height of 2,134 m. This cirque is the main source region of the Windauer Ache stream. In front of the summit of the Kröndlhorn to the north is another peak, the Kröndlberg, only four metres lower, which looks like the actual summit when approaching from the north. Summit On the summit of the Kröndlhorn is a small chapel that only accommodates two people. It contains a stamp and a summit register. On the inte ...

Windauer Ache
The Windauer Ache is a mountain stream in Tyrol (state), Tyrol, Austria, in the scenic Windautal valley in the Kitzbühel Alps. The Ache rises on the Reinkarsee at about , at the foot of the Kröndlhorn, and its middle reaches run through a roughly long gorge. In Hopfgarten im Brixental, Hopfgarten the Windauer Ache discharges into the Brixentaler Ache at a narrow point in the valley; the Brixentaler Ache in turn empties into the Inn (river), River Inn at Wörgl. The Ache flows through the municipalities of Westendorf, Tyrol, Westendorf and Hopfgarten im Brixental, Hopfgarten. The Windauer Ache is very popular for whitewater canoeing (grade WW II to WW V).

Kitzbühel Alps
The Kitzbühel Alps (german: Kitzbüheler Alpen or ''Kitzbühler Alpen'') are a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps surrounding the town of Kitzbühel in Tyrol, Austria. Geologically they are part of the western slate zone (greywacke zone). Location Two-thirds of the Kitzbühel Alps lie within the Austrian province of Tyrol, the remaining third is in Salzburg province. They are about long from east to west and 25 to 35 km wide. They extend from the Ziller valley and Tux Alps in the west to the Saalach river and Zell am See on Lake Zell (''Zellersee'') in the east. They are bordered to the south by the Zillertal Alps and the High Tauern mountain range on the other side of the Salzach River, on the north by the Inn River and the Northern Limestone Alps.

Schafsiedel
The Schafsiedel is a high mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria. It is one of the highest peaks on the main crest of the Kitzbühel Alps. It also the summit most frequently climbed from the New Bamberg Hut, not least because of the 3 mountain lakes that are passed en route: the photogenic lower lake, the green middle lake and the rock-rimmed upper lake. About 500 m south of the summit is the Aleitenspitze (), which is easily reached from the Schafsiedel. Route to the summit The valley of the ''Kurzer Grund'' in the Kelchsau is the start of the most commonly used approach route. Its starting point near an inn, the ''Gasthof Wegscheid'' (1,148 m), is accessible by car over a metalled toll road.Brandt, Sepp (2010). ''Kitzbüheler Alpen'', Rother Wanderführer, Bergverlag Rother, Munich, pp. 86/87, . There are numerous unmetalled car parking areas near the inn.

New Bamberg Hut
The New Bamberg Hut (german: Neue Bamberger Hütte) lies at 1,756 m AMSL in the Kelchsau in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria and is a mountain hut owned by the German Alpine Club's Bamberg Section. The hut may be reached either from the Kelchsau – from the ''Gasthof Wegscheid'' inn in the ''Kurzen Grund'' in just under 2 hours or from Salzburg state, from ''Gasthof Ronach'' on the old Gerlos Road over the ''Salzachjoch'' saddle in about 3½ hours. History The first Bamberg Hut was built in 1893/94 by the Bamberg Section at the foot of Piz Boè in the Sella Group in the Dolomites. They were dispossessed of this hut in 1919 by the Treaty of Saint Germain and the hut was given to the Club Alpino Italiano's ''Società degli Alpinisti Tridentini'' Section. The latter repaired the hut which had been badly damaged in the war and ran it under the name of Boè Hut.Egon Pracht: ''Alpenvereinsführer Dolomiten Sellagruppe''.

Windautal
The Windautal is a southern side valley of the Tyrolean Brixental in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria with a length of about 16 km. The valley is lies almost entirely within the territory of the parish of Westendorf; only its northernmost part lies in Hopfgarten. To the south the valley borders on the state of Salzburg. To the north - near Hopfgarten (623 m) - the Windautal and Brixental valleys merge. The stream of the Windauer Ache flows through the Windau and discharges into the Brixentaler Ache. In the 16th and 17th centuries, copper, galena and pyrites were mined in the valley. The Windautal is a popular recreation area and a particularly good for ski tours, hiking, mountain biking and cycling. The route through the valley along the lower reaches of the Windauer Ache is part of the "Kaiser Circuit (''Kaiser-Runde''), a long distance circular cycleway that starts and ends in Kufstein.Kufsteinerland''Kaiser-Runde''/ref> The Windauer Ache is also popular with whitewate ...

Material Ropeway
A material ropeway, ropeway conveyor (or aerial tramway in the US) is a subtype of gondola lift, from which containers for goods rather than passenger cars are suspended. Description Material ropeways are typically found around large mining concerns, and can be of considerable length. The COMILOG Cableway, which ran from Moanda in Gabon to Mbinda in the Republic of the Congo, was over in length. The Norsjö aerial tramway in Sweden had a length of . Conveyors can be powered by a wide variety of forms of energy, such as electricity, engines, or gravity (particularly in mountainous mining concerns, or where running water is available). Gravity-driven conveyors may qualify as zip-lines, as no electricity is used to operate them, instead relying on the weight of carts going down providing propulsion for empty carts going up. Double-rope (bi-cable) ropeways, have a carrying rope that supports the buckets and a separate hauling rope that controls their movement. Single-rope (mono-ca ...

Two-thousanders Of Austria
Two-thousanders are mountains that have a height of at least 2,000 metres above sea level, but less than 3,000 metres. The term is used in Alpine circles, especially in Europe (e.g. German: ''Zweitausender''). The two photographs show two typical two-thousanders in the Alps that illustrate different types of mountain. The Säuling (top) is a prominent, individual peak, whereas the Schneeberg (bottom) is an elongated limestone massif. In ranges like the Allgäu Alps, the Gesäuse or the Styrian-Lower Austrian Limestone Alps the mountain tour descriptions for mountaineers or hikers commonly include the two-thousanders, especially in areas where only a few summits exceed this level. Examples from these regions of the Eastern Alps are: * the striking Nebelhorn (2,224 m) near Oberstdorf or the Säuling (2,047 m) near Neuschwanstein, * the Admonter Reichenstein (2,251 m), Eisenerzer Reichenstein (2,165 m), Großer Pyhrgas (2,244 m) or Hochtor (2,369&nbs ...

Mountains Of Salzburg (state)
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and ...

Mountains Of The Alps
This page tabulates only the most prominent mountains of the Alps, selected for having a topographic prominence of ''at least'' , and all of them exceeding in height. Although the list contains 537 summits, some significant alpine mountains are necessarily excluded for failing to meet the stringent prominence criterion. The list of these most prominent mountains is continued down to 2500 m elevation at List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2500–2999 m) and down to 2000 m elevation on List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2000–2499 m). All such mountains are located in either France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany or Slovenia, even in some lower regions. Together, these three lists include all 44 ultra-prominent peaks of the Alps, with 19 ultras over 3000m on this page.
