The Hoher Prijakt ("High Prijakt", 3,064 m (AA)) and Niederer Prijakt ("Low Prijakt", 3,056 m above sea level (AA)) are a prominent double summit which, seen from the west and north, form one of the most attractively-shaped mountains of the Schober Group in the state of Tyrol in western Austria. The summit cross was placed on the lower Niederer Prijakt which is easier to see from the valley.
