Ahrner Kopf, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy

Ahrner Kopf is a 3,051-meter (10,010 ft) summit in the Venediger Group that forms a natural border between South Tyrol and Austria in the Eastern Alps. The peak features steep rocky slopes and can be reached from both Italian and Austrian approaches during warmer months.

The mountain is first recorded in 1583, in a description of a border course, where it appears as "Auer Kopf", a name derived from Auerhof and later altered to Ahrner Kopf. Locals pronounce it Agnakopf. In 2004, at the suggestion of the Lenkjöchlhütte's hut keeper, a summit cross was erected and formally inaugurated in summer 2005.

The name appeared in a 1583 description of a border course as "Auer Kopf", derived from the Auerhof farm, and was later altered to Ahrner Kopf; locals say Agnakopf. In 2004 the Lenkjöchlhütte's hut keeper initiated the placing of a summit cross, ceremonially inaugurated in summer 2005.

The best time to climb is from July to September when weather conditions are most favorable. Hikers should bring sturdy footwear and weather-resistant gear, as conditions at altitude can change quickly.

The summit cross was put up in 2004 on the initiative of the Lenkjöchlhütte's hut warden and formally inaugurated in summer 2005. The mountain is already named in a 1583 description of a border course, as "Auer Kopf", derived from Auerhof; locals say Agnakopf.
