The area was historically the core of the County of Tyrol, part of the Holy Roman Empire, Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary, f ... in the Hinterautal-Vomper Chain between the ultra-prominent mountain of Birkkarspitze in the east and the Marxenkarspitze () in the west. The highest of the summits is the Middle Ödkarspitze () with a height of . The Western Ödkarspitze (''Westliche Ödkarspitze'') is high and the Eastern Ödkarspitze (''Östliche Ödkarspitze'') is high. A waymarked and, in places, protection (climbing), protected mountain path, that requires sure-footedness and a head for heights, leads to the summit.

Hinterautal-Vomper Chain
The Hinterautal-Vomper Chain (), also called the main chain of the Karwendel (''Karwendelhauptkette''), is the longest mountain chain in the Karwendel Alps in Austria. It has numerous peaks that reach heights of 2,500 m, including the highest summit of the Karwendel, the Birkkarspitze (), and its neighbour, the three Ödkarspitzen. While long ridges radiate south and north from the western part of the main chain, with typical Karwendel cirques nestling between them, the eastern part of the chain has an almost 1,000 m high, solid rock face on the northern side, which is most striking at the Laliderer Wand. The main chain is divided into the Hinterautal ("Hinterau Valley") chain (''Hinterautalkette'') in the west and the Vomper Chain (''Vomperkette'') in the east and runs through the Karwendel Alps from Scharnitz in the west to the village of Vomp in the east. North of the Hinterautal-Vomper Chain is the Northern Karwendel Chain (''Nördliche Karwendelkette''), to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
