The Frau Hitt (2,270 m (AA)) is a peak in the Nordkette, the southernmost mountain chain of the Karwendel in Austria.
According to legend the peak is a petrified giant queen, called Frau Hitt, who was known for her avarice and self-infatuation.
The beggar woman was so incensed by this mockery that she cursed the giantess and her horse, which were then turned into stone as an eternal punishment.
[2] A plan to create a spectacular wrapping over Frau Hitt by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude finally failed through lack of funds.
Neighbouring crossings are: in the west the Erl Saddle near the Solsteinhaus, in the east the Hafelekar top station.
