Wildengundkopf, Mountain peak in Bavaria, Germany
Wildengundkopf is a 2,238-metre grass-covered summit in the Allgäu Alps, the southernmost grassy peak of the Himmelschrofenzug ridge, standing just north of the Trettachspitze. It is a Kammerhebung of that higher mountain, reached by a path from the Einödsberg or a somewhat harder route from the Waltenberger-Haus, and most climbers cross it on the way to the Trettachspitze.

The summit is usually crossed on the way to the Trettachspitze, a 2,595-metre rock peak immediately to the south. Two marked routes lead up: one from the Einödsberg and a more demanding one from the Waltenberger-Haus. The name appears in local dialect as Wildengund Kopf.
Reaching the summit requires sturdy hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing since conditions can shift rapidly at this height. Starting early in the day and bringing plenty of water and snacks helps ensure a safer visit.
