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.[1]

It lies south of the market municipality of Kötschach-Mauthen and northeast of the Plöcken Pass. The easiest and shortest climb runs from the Plöckenhaus via the Spielbodenalm and Spielbodentörl to the summit of the Polinik. Its free-standing situation offers a very impressive panoramic view of the upper Gail valley and the Gailtal Alps.
