Kühgundkopf, Summit at Bavaria-Tyrol border, Germany and Austria
Description
Kühgundkopf is a 1,907-meter (6,250 ft) mountain on the border between Bavaria and Tyrol with sheer dolomite rock faces. The vertical cliffs offer climbing routes and hiking trails for visitors of different levels.
History
Celtic people settled in the mountain region thousands of years ago, and Romans later established presence here. The border location between Bavaria and Tyrol has defined the area's character for centuries.
Culture
The villages of Bad Hindelang and Schattwald show how people live in mountain communities today: homes with painted wooden balconies, working farms, and village centers where locals gather. This way of life blends Bavarian and Tyrolean customs naturally.
Practical
Well-marked trails climb to the summit from both the German and Austrian sides, with mountain huts available along the routes for breaks and overnight stays. Choose your route based on your experience and fitness level.
Did you know?
