Description of mountain:
Grosses Reisseck is the highest peak in the eponymous mountain massif in the eastern High Tauern. It is the closest peak to us that exceeds the height of Triglav. Due to its elevation, it offers wonderful views extending from Grossglockner, Hochalmspitze, and Dachstein to Triglav. The summit is an indistinct elevation in the mountain massif, where numerous peaks rise above 2500 m, so views of this peak from the valley are obscured. Despite its considerable altitude, the normal ascent of this mountain does not present major difficulties, as a mountain railway takes us high below the summit area of Reisseck, and the path has no major steep sections, precipices, or fixed cables.
