Kofel, Mountain summit in Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany

Kofel is a mountain near Oberammergau in Bavaria, with its summit at 1342 meters above sea level, marked by a distinctive white peak and steep rocky slopes. The mountain features a cone-shaped form and offers several climbing routes for different skill levels.

The Döttenbichl, a low rise about a kilometre east below the Kofel, served as a Raetian sacrificial site in the Late La Tène period and was probably the scene of a battle between Celts and Romans in the early Roman imperial era. In 2015 artists Sebastian Hertrich and Sebastian Wanke installed a light installation on the summit; the results were shown in 2016 in the exhibition "Made in Oberammergau" at the State School for Woodcarving, and a badge was designed for the art action "Kofel X".

The name Kofel is a common Alpine toponym for a cone-shaped peak, not a Celtic term. The mountain is the local landmark of Oberammergau, visible from Ettal and Unterammergau. In 2015 artists Sebastian Hertrich and Sebastian Wanke installed a light installation on the summit, shown in 2016 at the 'Made in Oberammergau' exhibition; a badge was designed for the 'Kofel X' art action.

The route starts at the Döttenbühl parking lot at 840 meters elevation and leads through meadows and forests before reaching the mountain's final section. The upper portion uses secured steel cables, which makes the climb safer but also noticeably steeper.

In 2015 artists Sebastian Hertrich and Sebastian Wanke installed a light installation on the summit; the results were shown in 2016 at the "Made in Oberammergau" exhibition in the pavilion of the State School for Woodcarving. A badge was designed for the "Kofel X" art action and given to participants and supporters.
