Kugelhorn, Mountain summit at Allgäu Alps, Austria and Germany.
Kugelhorn is a summit in the Allgäu Alps on the border between Austria and Germany, standing at 2,126 meters high. The mountain can be accessed from multiple directions, with paths from the north crossing meadows and routes from the south following gentler ridges.
The mountain has marked the border between Tyrol and Bavaria for centuries and was documented in regional mapping records. This role as a boundary point shaped its importance in local geography across long periods of time.
Local communities in Bad Hindelang and Tannheim organize regular mountain festivals that celebrate the natural heritage of the Allgäu Alps region.
Two main entry points lead to Kugelhorn: one from Hinterstein in Germany and another from Vilsalpsee in Austria. Visitors should expect parking fees and pay attention to mountain weather conditions, which can change rapidly.
The mountain is composed mostly of dolomite rock, which sets it apart geologically from neighboring peaks. This particular stone formation gives the landscape a distinctive appearance and affects how trails feel underfoot.
