Description of mountain:
Hohe Munde is a peak in the Mieming range west of Innsbruck and the local mountain of the town of Telfs, appearing as an imposing rock fortress above it. Although not the highest, it is probably the most prominent and visited two-thousander in the range, owing to its appearance and views, as well as diverse approaches leading to each of its summits, with an easy connecting path between the eastern and western peaks.
Besides the less demanding eastern route ending at the eastern peak, a longer and more challenging variant via the western slopes leads to the mountain, where an easier secured path reaches the western peak.
Like its eastern counterpart, the western peak of Hohe Munde is spacious and an exceptional vantage point—from the viewpoint at the cross and the box with the summit register, located a few meters below the actual highest point on the southern edge of the summit plateau, an exceptional panorama opens up over the deeply lying Telfs below us and the upper Inn valley, parts of the Stubai Alps headed by the Kalkkögel, the Mieming range, and the western part of the Nordkette ridge with much of the Karwendel on the eastern horizon behind the eastern neighbor.
