    Tips

    The Frankenheimer Nadel (1,695 m) is a striking rocky outcrop in the Kaiser Mountains in Tyrol, near the Stripsenjochhaus. It rises prominently from the mountain pine slopes north of the Stripsenjoch and is one of the most popular climbing destinations in this area. Its steep, needle-shaped shape makes the Frankenheimer Nadel visible from afar and gives it its distinctive name.

    It was named after the Frankenheim section of the German Alpine Club, whose members were active here in the early years of mountaineering. The ascent to the Nadel involves various climbing routes of low to moderate difficulty and requires alpine experience and a head for heights.
