About

Schönfeldspitze is, with an elevation of 2,653 m (AA), the second highest mountain (after Selbhorn) in the Steinernes Meer, a sub-range of the Berchtesgaden Alps. It is located in the Austrian state of Salzburg, close to the German border.

Schönfeldspitze has a quite uncommon summit cross showing Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus (a Pietà).
