Großer Rosennock (2,440 m) is a mountain of the Gurktal Alps in Carinthia, Austria. It is the second highest mountain of the Gurktals, after Eisenhut, which is just one meter higher. It belongs to the Nock Mountains sub-range, and is located near the spa town of Bad Kleinkirchheim. As is typical of the Nock Mountains, the peak is smooth and grassy, and it is a relatively easy climb to the summit, where one can find a panoramic view of many of the ranges of the Eastern Alps.[2]
