Riffenkopf, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany
Riffenkopf is a summit in the Allgäu Alps reaching 1,748 meters and sitting on the ridge extending from Höfats mountain to the east. Its slopes are steep and rocky, with no developed trails accessing the peak.
The mountain sits between the Oy and Dietersbach valleys, where traditional alpine farming and hunting have shaped the landscape for generations. Its position influenced how local communities historically used this mountain region.
Local mountaineers maintain detailed knowledge of unmarked hunting paths to reach the summit, passing this information through generations of alpine communities.
The ascent demands alpine hiking experience and solid navigation skills, as only unmarked hunting trails and game paths offer access. Visitors should be well equipped for changing weather and snow conditions typical at this elevation.
Local mountaineers follow traditional hunting paths to reach the summit, a local practice passed down through experienced alpine climbers. These routes trace game trails that exist outside conventional marked hiking systems.
