Henne

The Henne is a mountain in the Kitzbüheler Alps in Tirol, standing south of Fieberbrunn. It rises east of the Wildseeloder and frames the Wildsee with that peak. The Wildsee lies at the foot of the mountain, its waters reflecting the surrounding rock faces.

The shortest and easiest route to the summit takes about thirty minutes from the Wildseeloderhaus along the western flank. From the east, climbers can start at the Reckmoos lift’s top station and follow a via ferrata with several graded routes. Older maps from the 17th and 18th centuries call the mountain Mauerackerspitz or Wildalmberg instead of Henne.

At the summit visitors find wide views over the Kitzbüheler Alps and across to the Hohe Tauern. The Wildsee below appears as a small green mirror surrounded by steep slopes. The rocky ridge of the Wildseeloder joins the Henne on the west, creating a natural frame for the lake. On clear days the peaks of the Zillertal Alps appear in the distance.
