Eineguntkopf, Mountain summit at Austrian-German border in Allgäu Alps.
Eineguntkopf is a broad secondary summit of the Hochgrat ridge in the Allgäu Alps, reaching 1641 m; the Austrian side calls it Rohnehöhe. The state border between Hittisau in Vorarlberg and Oberstaufen in Bavaria runs over the top, which overtops its two neighbouring peaks. Its slopes carry summer pastures such as the Rohne-Alpe at 1400 m and the Ziehenalpe at 1249 m.
The summit's two names come from pastures on opposite sides: the German Einegunt-Alpe (1372 m) below the Hohenfluhalpkopf gave Eineguntkopf, while the Austrian Rohne-Alpe (1400 m) on the south slope gave Rohnehöhe. The state border between Hittisau in Vorarlberg and Oberstaufen in Bavaria runs over the summit.
Alpine farms on the Austrian and German slopes continue seasonal grazing traditions, with herders moving livestock to high meadows during warmer months. These practices shape how the landscape looks and how people work within it today.
In winter, skiers use the Falkenhütte lift to access the ridge, while summer brings marked hiking trails to nearby peaks. The summit can be breezy and weather changes quickly, so bring layers and sturdy footwear, especially for narrow ridge sections.
The summit carries two unrelated names, each taken from a different alp below it: the German side calls it Eineguntkopf after the Einegunt-Alpe, while the Austrian side calls it Rohnehöhe after the Rohne-Alpe on its southern slope. The state border between Hittisau in Vorarlberg and Oberstaufen in Bavaria runs directly over the top.
