Rappenseekopf, Mountain peak in Allgäu Alps, Germany

Located at an elevation of 2,469 meters, Rappenseekopf stands between Bavaria and Tyrol, featuring steep slopes and distinct geological formations.

The summit received its current name in the late 19th century, previously known as Großsteinschartenspitz, reflecting the nearby Rappensee lake.

Two residents of Oberstdorf installed a memorial metal cross at the summit in 1985 to commemorate their fallen climbing companion.

Hikers can reach the summit through marked paths from Rappenseehütte, which serves as the main starting point for ascending the mountain.

The mountain forms part of the natural border between Germany and Austria, presenting different climbing challenges on its northern and southern faces.
