Riffenkopf

The Riffenkopf rises to 1,748 meters above sea level in the Allgäu Alps, forming part of the ridge extending from Höfats mountain.

The mountain stands between the Oy and Dietersbach valleys, where traditional alpine farming and hunting activities have persisted for generations.

Local mountaineers maintain detailed knowledge of unmarked hunting paths to reach the summit, passing this information through generations of alpine communities.

Reaching the Riffenkopf requires advanced navigation skills and physical preparation, as no marked trails lead directly to the mountain peak.

The mountain's position as the first distinct summit on the western ridge creates a natural boundary between two significant Bavarian valleys.
