Kegelkopf, Mountain summit in Allgäu, Germany.

Kegelkopf is a grass-covered mountain in the Allgäu Alps above Oberstdorf with two summit points at 1,959 and 1,935 metres. It separates the Dietersbach and Traufbach valleys and, together with the Fürschießer, forms part of the mountain backdrop south of the town. No marked trail leads up; only a hard-to-find hunters' path reaches the top.

Kegelkopf served as a landmark for shepherds and traders crossing the Allgäu valleys for centuries. Interest in climbing the peak grew during the 19th century as mountain sports became popular in the region.

The name Kegelkopf refers to the cone shape of the grass summit, since Kegel means skittle or cone in German. The peak has no marked trails, only a hard-to-find hunter's path, so it is climbed mostly by locals rather than visitors. The Giebelalpe on its south side has not been farmed for decades, and the paths still drawn on older maps have fallen into disuse.

The climb typically starts from Oberstdorf and takes about 5-6 hours with significant elevation change throughout. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear, have climbing experience, and be prepared to turn back if weather conditions worsen.

The narrow summit ridge offers unobstructed views across the entire Allgäu Alps chain, with a single rock marker at the very top. This exposed location means wind gusts are felt strongly and concentration is needed on the descent.
