Hochhäderich (1565 m) at the German-Austrian border. This peak is part of the Nagelfluh chain, a mountain range at the N rim of the Alps consisting of conglomerate rocks, locally known as Nagelfluh. They originate from sediments transported out of the early Alps which later consolidated, and were folded and tilted.
