The Edelweißspitze is a summit in High Tauern, located in Salzburg, Austria north of the Alpine divide. It can be accessed by car from Edelweißstraße, a branch-off from Grossglockner High Alpine Road, starting from Fuscher Törl and is the highest-accessible point of the road. Originally, its height was 2577m before building the parking lot and was named Poneck, Leitenkogel or Bergerkogel.[1] It serves as a scenic viewpoint of the High Tauern National Park with views to summits of the Glockner Group. In north-west direction, there is a hut which includes a restaurant.
