What is "plattenspitze"

The Plattenspitze or Plattenspitz is a mountain, 2,294 metres high (another source 2,293 m) above the village of Obertauern and on the territory of the municipality of Tweng. Its summit lies within the Schladming Tauern range and is usually traversed by climbers making for the Gamskarlspitze to the south.
