Cime di Pozzo / Putzenhöhe is a fairly pronounced peak that rises on the high ridge called Grubachkamm or Cresta Monte Gruppo, placed between the lower Pusteria and the underlying valley of Selva dei Molini. The climb (20 minutes from Lago Verde) is recommended, as it offers a first-rate view of the Zillertal Alps and the Dolomites.

Hiking

At 2,438 metres, the Putzenhöhe is not the highest peak that can be reached quickly from the GELENKE HIKING PARKING LOT (that would be the Bärentaler Spitz at 2,450 m), but there is a relatively direct and, in many parts, not too steep, well-marked hiking trail, so that most hikers choose the Putzenhöhe as their destination.

From here you have a magnificent view of the Pfunderer Weg that runs along the ridge, the Kronplatz and, to the north, the Zillertal Alps.

Hiking

The old cross stood on the summit of Putzenhöhe for 30 years, then it was exchanged for a new one in 2014. It was designed and built by Georg Rubner in memory of the late commander of the Kiens fire brigade, Paul Engl. The materials such as cement, water and iron bars were carried on the yoke by numerous military men and volunteers so that a new concrete base could be poured. Paul Kammerer drove the cross to the Grünbach Oberhütte and from there it was flown to the yoke in a helicopter and put on.
