Hochplattig

The Mieming(er) Range, Mieminger Chain (German: Mieminger Kette) or Mieminger Mountains (Mieminger Gebirge), is a mountain range of the Northern Limestone Alps in the Eastern Alps. It is located entirely in Austria within the state of Tyrol. This sub-group is somewhat in the shadows of its more famous neighbour, the Wetterstein to the north. Whilst the region around the Coburger Hut and the lakes of Seebensee and Drachensee in the west (Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze and Vorderer Tajakopf with its new klettersteig over the Tajakante) and the Hohe Munde in the extreme east receive large numbers of visitors, the less developed central area remains very quiet. The Hohe Munde is also a popular and challenging ski touring destination. Public transport links: The Außerfern Railway stops at Ehrwald on the western side of the range. Busses run from Leutasch on the southern side of the mountains to Mittenwald and Seefeld in Tirol.

The Hinterer Tajakopf is a mountain, 2,408 metres high, in the Mieming Range in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The Hintere Tajakopf may be ascended from the Coburger Hut (1,917 m) via the Hinteres Tajatörl (2,259 m) to the south and the south arête. Alternatively the Coburger Klettersteig runs to the top from the Vorderen Tajatörl to the north. This ascent is frequently combined with the klettersteig on the Vorderer Tajakopf (2,450 m) to the north of the Vorderes Tajatörl. West of the summit at just under 2,300 metres are the remains of an abandoned mine. In the area around the Coburger Hut lead and zinc ore was mined until the 20th century. On the actual summit is only a small wooden cross. A few metres away on a smooth rocky ridge, accessible via a short, protected passage, is a large summit cross with a summit register.

The Vorderer Tajakopf is a 2,450-metre-high mountain in the Mieming Chain in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The normal route to the summit runs from the Coburger Hut (1,917 m) over the Vorderes Tajatörl and the south arête. More recently the Vorderer Tajakopf has been climbed more frequently up a challenging klettersteig laid out in 2000 along the west arête. The neighbouring Hinterer Tajakopf (2,408 m) is accessible via the Vorderer Tajatörl on the Coburger Klettersteig or from the Hinterer Tajatörl.

The Plattspitzen is a 2,680-metre-high (8,790 ft) mountain in the Wetterstein Mountains on the border between Germany and Austria. It is a very striking mountain and the southern companion of Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, located at the opposite end of the ledge known as the Plattumrahmung. The mountain has three summits: the eastern summit, known as the Gatterlspitz (2,680 m), the middle summit (Mittelgipfel, 2,674 m) and the western summit (Westgipfel, 2,676 m). It was first climbed in 1871 by Hermann von Barth, who conquered all three peaks alone departing from the Zugspitzplatt ledge. At that time the mountain was also known as the Wetterschrofen.

The Wetterwandeck is a summit, 2,698 m high, in the Wetterstein mountains on the Austro-German border. It is located south of Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, above the Southern Schneeferner in the ridge which borders the Zugspitzplatt to the south. The first verifiable ascent of the Wetterwandeck was in 1874 by Hermann von Barth.A drag lift in the ski region on the Zugspitzplatt below the Wetterwandeck was named after the mountain. There is also a piste at the southern foot of the mountain known as the Ehrwalder Almbahnen.

The Wetterspitzen are three of the rocky peaks on a mountain ridge in the Wetterstein mountains in the central part of the Eastern Alps in Germany. They lie two kilometres, as the crow flies, southwest of Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, on the border between the Austrian province of Tyrol and the German state of Bavaria. The Wetterspitzen form the southwest perimeter of the Zugspitze ledge (Zugspitzplatt); below and to the east is the ski region on the Schneeferner with its research station, the Schneefernerhaus. The three peaks are the: Northern Wetterspitze (Nördliche Wetterspitze) - 2,746 metres (9,009 ft) high; Southern or Middle Wetterspitze (Südliche (Mittlere) Wetterspitze) - 2,750 metres (9,020 ft) high; Eastern Wetterspitze (Östliche Wetterspitze) - 2,668 metres (8,753 ft) high.

Wankspitze (elevation 2,208 m (7,244 ft)) is a summit of the Mieming Range in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It separates the Griessspitzen to the north from the Mieming Plateau to the south.

The Coburger Hut (German: Coburger Hütte) is an Alpine hut owned by the Coburg Branch of the German Alpine Club. It is located in the Mieming Range in the Austrian state of Tyrol and lies only a few metres in height above the lake of Drachensee. The accommodation is generally open from June to early October and there is a winter room.

The Seebensee is a natural high mountain lake (an ice-age affected, rock basin lake) at a height of 1,657 metres, south of Ehrwald in the Mieming Range. It is surrounded by the Vorderer Tajakopf in the east, the Vorderer Drachenkopf in the south and the Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze in the west. The Seebensee has no significant above-ground inflows and one outflow via the Seebenbach Falls and the Geißbach into the Loisach river. The lake may be reached from Ehrwald on a forest track via the Ehrwalder Alm, via the Seeben Klettersteig, a difficult klettersteig, or via one of the two protected mountain trails Hoher Gang or Immensteig. From Biberwier, the lake may be reached via the arête of the Biberwierer Scharte, and from Leutasch through the Gaistal valley. Near the lake (to the northeast) lies the managed alpine pasture of Seebenalm. To the south on a rock terrace above the lake is the Coburger Hut owned by the German Alpine Club. The surface of the lake covers around 6.5 hectares, but it used to be larger. As a result of soil and vegetation analyses it has been deduced that there was a large area southeast of the lake which used to be part of it (today easily visible, especially from above, as a mainly grassy plain) but which has now silted up.

The Schneefernerkopf is a 2,875-metre-high (9,432 ft) peak in the Zugspitze massif in the Alps. It lies at the western end of the Wetterstein chain in the Alps on the border between the German state of Bavaria and the Austrian state of Tyrol. It is the dominant mountain in the Wetterstein, especially when viewed from Ehrwald.

The Zugspitze Glacier Cable Car (German: Zugspitz-Gletscherbahn) is a 1,000 metre long cable car on the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. It was opened in 1992 and links the plateau of the Zugspitzplatt directly with the summit, 360 metres higher. Since the mountain station of the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway was moved from the Schneefernerhaus to the Platt, the Schneefernerhaus and the old cableways, which ran down into the valley from the Platt (the Hangbahn and alte Gletscherbahn) and up to the summit (Gipfelseilbahn), have lost their importance. The cableway, which is operated by the Zugspitzbahn AG, is a reversible system with two carrying cables and no pylons. Its carrying cables have a diameter of 50 mm; its hauling cable a diameter of 34 mm. The system is powered by 2 210 kW motors in the valley station. The cabins have a capacity of 100 people and can transport 1,000 people per hour in each direction. The cableway was built by the South Tyrolean firm of Hölzl Seilbahnbau.

The Knorr Hut is a mountain hut belonging to the German Alpine Club and located in the Wetterstein Mountains at a height of 2,052 m. Its lies right on the edge of the Zugspitzplatt where it drops into the Reintalanger in a location with scenic views and is an important base for hikers who can climb up to it on the normal route from the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen through the Reintal valley to Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. The Knorr Hut is rated as category I, and belongs to the Munich Section of the German Alpine Club (DAV).
