    The Frankenheimer Nadel is a striking rocky peak in the Kaiser Mountains in Tyrol, not far from the Stripsenjochhaus. The narrow, tower-like rocky promontory rises impressively above the terrain and is particularly popular with climbers. The routes up the Frankenheimer Nadel are varied and require climbing experience and safe rope technique. The needle got its name from the Frankenheim section of the German Alpine Club, which was active in this area for a long time. Due to its striking shape and location, the Frankenheimer Nadel also offers a popular photo motif with the majestic Wilder Kaiser in the background.
