Mountains East of Plöcken Pass

There are many fine mountains east of the Plöcken pass, fairly easily reached from the Gail valley, among them the Gailtaler Polinik (2,331m/7,648ft), near Mauthen, the massive Trogkofel (2,279m/7,,477ft) and the jagged and botanically interesting Gartnerkofel (2,195m/7,202ft), the latter two accessible from the Sonnenalpe Nassfeld by way of the Nassfeld hut (1,513m/4,964ft), which is also much frequented by skiers.
