Schafalpenköpfe, Mountain peaks in Allgäu Alps, Austria and Germany.

Schafalpenköpfe are three mountain peaks in the Allgäu Alps along the Austrian-German border, standing at 2272, 2302, and 2320 meters. The group rises above rocky terrain marked by steep slopes and alpine meadows.

The peaks first appeared on Blasius Hueber's Vorarlberg map in 1783 under the name Wilden Köpf, referring to the rocky terrain unsuitable for farming. This early designation reflected how locals viewed the mountains as economically unproductive land.

The name reflects the southern view and combines German words for sheep pastures with rocky peaks, showing how traditional alpine farming shaped the landscape. This naming reveals how locals described mountains based on what they saw and how the land was used.

The three summits are accessible via the Mindelheimer Klettersteig, a 2.4-kilometer route with medium difficulty. Good footwear and sure-footedness are essential, as the path includes exposed sections and climbing passages.

On Austrian special maps of the Biberkopf area the same three peaks appear under another name, Walser Kerle, a reminder that the massif carries different names on each side of the border. The 1844 border description lists them in sequence: über den ersten Schafalpenkopf, über den zweiten Schafalpenkopf, bis zu dem dritten Schafalpenkopf.
