The Großglockner, or just Glockner, is, at 3,798 metres above the Adriatic, the highest mountain in Austria and highest mountain in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass.

Peak

At the height of 3,770 metres the Kleinglockner is the third highest mountain summit in Austria. However, with a prominence of only 17 metres it is arguable whether it can be counted as an independent mountain, or just as a subpeak of the Großglockner.
