Middle Wetterspitze

Holzgauer Wetterspitze is the tallest peak of the Wetterspitze group of the Lechtal Alps, as well as one of the Lechtal Alps' highest summits. It is 2,750 meters tall and is mostly made up of upper Triassic limestone. They are located two kilometers southwest of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, on the Austrian province of Tyrol's and German state of Bavaria's border. The Wetterspitzen constitutes the southwest side of the Zugspitze ledge (Zugspitzplatt); below and to the east lies the Schneeferner ski area, which includes the Schneefernerhaus research station.

Climbers who can handle the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) Grades I and II, which are Class 3 and 4 climbs, are drawn to it. In Letchtal, tourist-friendly communities such as Holzgau, Hägerau, and Kaisers have sprung up to welcome hikers. This has had a favorable impact on the region's economy.
