Kühgundkopf, Summit at Bavaria-Tyrol border, Germany and Austria
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.
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.
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.
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.
The dolomite rock faces formed roughly 220 million years ago from ancient seafloors and have special properties that climbers value. This geology makes the walls highly sought after by sport climbers.
