Hochvogel, Mountain summit in Allgäu Alps, Bavaria and Tyrol.
The Hochvogel rises to 2,592 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between Germany and Austria in the Allgäu Alps range.
The initial documented ascent of Hochvogel occurred in 1832 by Trobitius from Kempten, while unconfirmed reports mention a shepherd reaching the peak in 1767.
The mountain lies within the Allgäu High Alps Nature Reserve on the German side, representing a significant natural landmark for both German and Austrian communities.
Climbers typically begin their ascent from Prinz Luitpold Haus at 1,846 meters, following a route that requires approximately two and a half hours to complete.
A substantial rock fracture near the summit, detected in 2017, necessitates continuous monitoring by Bavarian and Tyrolean geologists for safety assessment.
