The Gailtaler Polinik (also known as the Angerkofel) is a mountain, 2,332 m (AA), in the Carnic Alps in the Austrian state of Carinthia. It lies on the main ridge of the Carnics and is the highest peak of the Eastern group.[2]

It lies south of the market municipality of Kötschach-Mauthen and northeast of the Plöcken Pass.
