Cold Mountain (Slovenia)
Cold Mountain () is a mountain in the Kamnik Alps. Cold Mountain rises over three valleys: the Logar Valley, the Matk Cirque (), and the Vellach Combe (, ). It is rarely visited because it is relatively difficult to ascend with many exposed areas. The border with Austria runs along the northern and western side, and until 1967 it was difficult to access because of political problems. Its first climbers had problems scaling it. In 1876, Robert von Lendenfeld and a guide named Matijevec from Luče reached the western peak and they descended, thinking they had reached the highest peak. In 1877, Karl Blodig (the first to climb every peak over in Europe) tried two times, but quit due to weather well below the top. In the same year Johannes Frischauf, Piskernik, and Matek finally conquered the top. The Frischauf Lodge on Okrešelj is named after him.

Tauern Mountain
The word ''Tauern'' () is German and originally meant 'high mountain pass' in the Austrian Central Alps, referring to the many bridleways and passes of the parallel side valleys of the River Salzach that cut into the mountain ranges. From the Middle Ages, when mining reached its heyday, the word ''Tauern'' was also used to name the corresponding ranges. The name has survived in many local placenames today. Etymology The derivation of the name ''Tauern'' has been variously ascribed: * One view is that the name ''Tauern'' is an old substrate word (''*taur-'' for 'mountain‚ mountain pass, crossing'), which passed directly (less probable) or via the Slavic language (more likely) into German. (The name ''Tauern'' is probably pre-Slavic, but there is also a common Slavic word, ''tur-'' 'swelling, ridge, elongated hillock', etc.). * Another postulation is that the ''Tauern'' is the only mountain range that has kept its pre-Slavic name in Carinthia as it passed down the generati ...
