Question: What is the highest mountain in Germany, ahead of the Hochwanner the highest peak on the main ridge of the Wetterstein, lying south of the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen?

Großer Möseler: The Große Möseler (Italian: "Grande Mèsule" ), also called the "Mösele", is a mountain,  m (AA) , and thus the second highest peak in the Zillertal Alps after the Hochfeiler ( ).  It lies on the Zillertal main ridge which forms the border here between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol.  Its great size makes it the dominant mountain in the area.  Seen from the northwest it appears like a firn-covered dome; but from the northeast as a regularly shaped cone of rock.  Prominent arêtes radiate from the peak to the northwest, east and south.  The mountain is easily ascended from the Furtschaglhaus and is often visited as a result.  It was first climbed on 16 June 1865 by G. H. Fox, Douglas William Freshfield and Francis Fox Tuckett with mountain guides, François Devouassoud from Chamonix and Peter Michel from Grindelwald, as well as two unknown bearers.

Thompson Peak (California): Thompson Peak is a mountain (a high point on a tall granite ridge) in Trinity County, California.  It is the highest peak in the Trinity Alps Wilderness.  It is the highest point in a ridge that also features Wedding Cake, another well-known Trinity Alps peak.  Thompson Peak is the highest Peak in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, a vast assemblage of craggy granite mountains in northwestern California (Trinity Alps Wilderness is the seventh largest designated wilderness area in California).  Thompson Peak is the second highest mountain in Northern California west of the Cascades, after 9027 foot; Mount Eddy.

Wetterstein: The Wetterstein mountains (German: "Wettersteingebirge" ), also simply called the Wetterstein, is a mountain group in the Northern Limestone Alps within the Eastern Alps.  It is a relatively compact range located between Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Seefeld in Tirol and Ehrwald.  Part of it is in the German free state of Bavaria and part in the Austrian federal state of Tyrol.  The main summit of the Wetterstein, the Zugspitze, is also the highest mountain in Germany.

Höllentalspitzen: The Höllentalspitzen are three peaks in the Wetterstein Mountains near Garmisch-Partenkirchen in southern Germany.  They rise from the ridge of "Blassenkamm" which runs eastwards from Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, and separate the Hölle Valley to the north from the Reintal Valley to the south.  The summit nearest to the Zugspitze is the Inner Höllentalspitze ("Innere Höllentalspitze"), 2741 m high; this is followed by the main summit Middle Höllentalspitze ("Mittlere Höllentalspitze"), 2743 m high; and the Outer Höllentalspitze ("Äußeren Höllentalspitze") at 2720 m .

Dreitorspitze: Dreitorspitze is a large and very prominent, multi-peak mountain massif in the eastern part of the Wetterstein Mountains in southern Germany.  It is divided into Partenkirchen Dreitorspitze (German: "Partenkirchener Dreitorspitze") at 2633 m and Leutasch Dreitorspitze (German:"Leutascher Dreitorspitze") at 2682 m ; each of which has several peaks.  The main peak of the fourth highest mountain massif in Germany is the Leutasch Dreitorspitze, which is also known as the Karlspitze.  The Dreitorspitze marks the spot where the main chain of the Wetterstein mountains changes direction from its primary east-west orientation to run northwards for a short distance, before turning back again onto its main axis.  East of the Dreitorspitze lies the karst plateau of the "Leutasch Platt", comparable to the "Zugspitzplatt" at the foot of the Zugspitze.

Zugspitze: The Zugspitze, (] ) at 2,962 m (9,718 ft) above sea level, is the highest peak of the Wetterstein Mountains as well as the highest mountain in Germany.  It lies south of the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and the Austria–Germany border runs over its western summit.  South of the mountain is the "Zugspitzplatt", a high karst plateau with numerous caves.  On the flanks of the Zugspitze are three glaciers, including the two largest in Germany: the Northern Schneeferner with an area of 30.7 hectares and the Höllentalferner with an area of 24.7 hectares.  The third is the Southern Schneeferner which covers 8.4 hectares.

Hinterreintalschrofen: The Hinterreintalschrofen is a 2,669 m high peak on the main, east-west oriented crest (the "Teufelsgrat" or "Devil's Ridge") of the Wetterstein Mountains in the Eastern Alps.  It is a massive and dominant mountain with a high rock face that plunges into the Reintal valley to the north and stamps the appearance of the Wetterstein when seen from the north.  In spite of that, the mountain is rarely climbed.  Its neighbouring peaks are the "Hochwanner" (2,746 m) to the west and the "Hundstallköpfe" (2,533 m) to the east.  The "Teufelsgrat" runs along the national border between the Austrian state of Tyrol, (Gaistal) in the south and the German state of Bavaria, (Reintal) in the north.

Rila: Rila (Bulgarian: Рила , ] ) is a mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria and the highest mountain range of Bulgaria and the Balkans, with its highest peak being Musala at 2,925 m.  The massif is also the sixth highest mountain in Europe (when each mountain is represented by its highest peak only), coming after the Caucasus, the Alps, Sierra Nevada, the Pyrenees and Mount Etna, and the highest between the Alps and the Caucasus.  More than one-third of the mountain is occupied by the Rila National Park, the rest lies within the Rila Monastery Nature Park.

Trogkofel: Trogkofel ("Creta di Aip"in Italian) (2,280 m) is a mountain of the Carnic Alps lying on the border of Friuli, Italy and Carinthia, Austria.  It is located on the main ridge of the Carnics between the Aip Valley to the south and the Gail Valley in the north, and is the second highest mountain on the eastern ridge after Gailtaler Polinik.  The mountain is known as "Crete Rosse", meaning "Red Rocky Mountain" in Friuli.

Hochwanner: At 2744 m , the Hochwanner (formerly: "Kothbachspitze") is the second highest mountain in Germany after the Zugspitze (if the somewhat higher Schneefernerkopf is only considered as a sub-peak of the Zugspitze).  In addition the Hochwanner is the highest peak on the main ridge of the Wetterstein ("Wettersteinhauptkamm") running from "Gatterl" to the Upper Wettersteinspitze ("Oberen Wettersteinspitze") above Mittenwald in an east-west direction.  From the Hochwanner massif there is an all-round view of the Rein valley ("Reintal"), the Leutasch valley in Austria, the Gais valley, the Zugspitze, the Mieming Chain, the Jubiläumsgrat, the Karwendel mountains and far into the central Alps.
