Kemptner Kopf, Alpine mountain peak in Allgäu Alps, Germany and Austria

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 sources record no documented naming history for Kemptner Kopf; the name is not traced to the old German term 'Kemmat'. What they do establish is the summit's setting: at 2,191 m it is a secondary peak of the Sechszinkenspitze in the Schafalpenköpfe group, just southwest of the Südwestlicher Schafalpenkopf, with the Mindelheimer Hütte to the south-southwest. Its rocky summit block sits on a ridge with grassy slopes.

The Kemptner Kopf is climbed mainly via the Mindelheimer Klettersteig, a secured via ferrata linking the Fiderepasshütte and the Mindelheimer Hütte just south-southwest of the summit. A second route leaves the Mittelberg car park at Schwendle and passes the Fluchtalpe (1,380 m), the Hintere Wildenalpe (1,800 m) and the Kemptner Scharte, about 2½ hours on foot.

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 rocky summit block sits on a ridge with lush grass slopes, and the Mindelheimer Klettersteig crosses it between the Fiderepasshütte and the Mindelheimer Hütte. The Mindelheimer Hütte lies just south-southwest of the Kemptner Köpfle, so the via ferrata passes directly over the top.
