Linkerskopf

Linkerskopf is a mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps located at approximately 2,460 meters elevation in Bavaria. The peak provides views across neighboring peaks including the Lechtal Alps and overlooks the Rappensee below.

The mountain has served as a reference point for alpinists and cartographers documenting the Eastern Alps since the 19th century. This systematic recording helped establish the region on maps and created climbing routes for future visitors.

German alpinists maintain records of ascents to Linkerskopf as part of the systematic documentation of Bavarian mountain achievements.

The hike follows a trail of about 20 kilometers starting from Faistenoy and passes near mountain lodges where hikers can rest. Sturdy hiking boots and attention to weather conditions are important since the route crosses pastures and rocky terrain.

Among the many peaks of the Allgäu Alps, this summit occupies a middle ranking and offers less experienced climbers an achievable goal. Despite its moderate elevation compared to nearby peaks, the ascent still demands solid fitness and basic mountaineering skills.
