Hoher Ifen, Alpine summit in Allgäu Alps, Austria and Germany
The Hoher Ifen mountain rises to 2230 meters, featuring steep cliffs on its plateau and extending across the border between Austria and Germany.
Archaeological excavations in 1998 revealed a Stone Age dwelling at 1500 meters elevation on the eastern slopes of Schneiderkürenalpe near Hoher Ifen.
The Gottesacker plateau northeast of Hoher Ifen contains numerous caves, including Hölloch im Mahdtal and Schneckenloch Cave, representing significant geological formations.
Visitors can reach the summit through two main routes: the eastern path via Ifenhütte or the western approach through Schwarzwasserhütte.
The mountain forms a natural border point where three municipalities intersect: Egg, Mittelberg, and Oberstdorf, creating a tri-municipal summit meeting point.
