Jochspitze, Mountain summit at Allgäu Alps border, Austria and Germany
The Jochspitze reaches an elevation of 2,232 meters, featuring steep slopes and offering views across both Austrian and German territories of the Allgäu Alps.
The mountain's location along the Austrian-German border made it a significant geographical marker for territorial divisions following the regional mapping initiatives of the 19th century.
Local mountaineering traditions include annual summer solstice celebrations at the summit, where hikers from both Austrian and German communities gather at sunrise.
Access to Jochspitze requires proper climbing equipment and typically takes 4 hours from Hinterhornbach, following the Jochbachtal valley through two steep sections.
The mountain presents different climbing experiences on its Austrian and German faces, with the Hinterhornbach approach requiring navigation through distinctive grass-covered slopes.
