Höfats, Mountain summit in Allgäu Alps, Bavaria, Germany.
The Höfats rises to 2,259 meters with four narrow summits divided into two pairs, separated by a wind gap at 2,207 meters.
Botanist Otto Sendtner completed the first documented climb of Höfats in 1848, opening new possibilities for mountaineering in the Allgäu region.
The mountain's steep grass slopes and distinct shape have earned recognition among alpinists as a notable formation in the Eastern Alps.
Climbers need advanced skills to navigate the steep faces and exposed ridges, particularly on the north face which drops vertically to Rauher Hals.
The mountain features the Höfatsnadel, a prominent rock pinnacle beneath the north face of the second peak, formed from Aptychen limestone.
