Laufbacher Eck, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany
Laufbacher Eck is a mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps standing at 2,178 meters with steep rocky slopes and multiple hiking routes across its terrain. The mountain offers various paths with some sections equipped with cables for safety over exposed rock.
The mountain routes connecting Edmund-Probst House and Prinz-Luitpold-Haus through this summit have served as important Alpine passes since the early 20th century. These trails were established to provide safe connections between the mountain huts in the region.
Local mountain rescue teams actively participate in protecting the rare botanical species found on Laufbacher Eck during summer, maintaining natural Alpine biodiversity.
The hike from the Nebelhorn area takes several hours and requires good fitness plus proper mountain gear. Routes are sometimes steep and exposed, so hikers should have experience with Alpine conditions.
The summit includes a side ridge containing several named peaks such as Salober and Berggächtle. This multi-peak formation makes the area a more complex geological structure than many other Alpine summits.
