Description

Wikipedia

The Schoberköpfe are several ridge-shaped peaks, arranged along the eastern edge of the Hochkönig plateau in the Berchtesgaden Alps, and which lie in a semi-circular arc that opens towards the east facing the Salzach valley: Southwestern Schoberkopf (Südwestlicher Schoberkopf, 2,708 m (AA)) Eastern Schoberkopf (Östlicher Schoberkopf, 2,666 m) Teufelskirche, also called the Teufelskirchl (2,520 m), a rock tower in front of the Eastern Schoberkopf. The relatively steep, 200-300-metre-high south faces drop into the scree-covered Eiskar and climb up again opposite into the striking, isolated pillar of the Torsäule 2,588 m. Somewhat west of the arête, near the Schoberschartl gap (2,579 m), ends the plateau glacier of the Übergossene Alm, which covers part of the Hochkönig summit region.
