Kemptner Kopf

Kemptner Kopf is an alpine summit in the Allgäu Alps that rises 2,191 meters above sea level and forms a border between Bavaria and Vorarlberg. The peak sits within a range of high mountains and connects to nearby peaks through ridgeline trails.

The mountain's name comes from the old German term 'Kemmat' and became part of local geographic records over many centuries. This naming reflects how the region has been documented in alpine geography for a long time.

The summit sits at a border where climbers from both Germany and Austria come to test their skills in the high mountains. This place embodies a shared climbing culture between the two regions, where traditional paths have been followed for generations.

The ascent involves steep rocky slopes where good hiking boots and alpine experience are needed. The best time to climb is in the summer months when snow is less present and conditions are safer for the journey.

The summit is connected to other peaks through a shared mountain ridge rather than being completely separate. This connection makes it an interesting spot for climbers who want to explore multiple summits during a single outing.
