Hochkalter

At 2,606.9 metres , the Hochkalter in the Berchtesgaden Alps is the highest peak in the massif of the same name and therefore one of the highest mountains in Germany. The Hochkalter Massif is also called the Hochkalter mountains .

The Hochkalter massif lies west of the Watzmann massif and, like it, is located within the Berchtesgaden National Park. The Hochkalter mountains are divided into sub-groups known as the Hochkalter Group , Hocheis Group and Southern Wimbach Chain . The most important base for climbing this alpenstock is the German Alpine Club's Blaueis Hut which lies at a height of 1,653 metres in the Blaueis Cirque below the Blaueis, the most northern glacier in the Alps. Other mountain huts are the Bergheim Hirschbichl for the Hocheis Group, the Wimbachgries Hut for climbs up the eastern flanks of the massif and the Ingolstädter Haus for the Southern Wimbach Chain.
