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

The Schafalpenköpfe consists of three summits reaching heights of 2272, 2302, and 2320 meters along the Austrian-German border in the Allgäu Alps.

The mountain formation first appeared on Blasius Hueber's Vorarlberg map in 1783 under the name Wilden Köpf, referencing the rocky terrain's lack of agricultural value.

The name derives from the southern perspective, combining the German words for sheep pastures and rocky summits, reflecting the traditional alpine farming practices.

Climbers can access the peaks through the Mindelheimer Klettersteig, a 2.4-kilometer route of medium difficulty that connects all three summits.

The mountains maintain two different names: Die Wilden when viewed from Kleinwalsertal to the north, and Walser Kerle according to Austrian regional maps.
