Frau Hitt

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.
