Westlicher Wengenkopf, Mountain summit in Swabia, Germany.
The Westlicher Wengenkopf rises to 2,235 meters in elevation within the Allgäu Alps, featuring steep northern cliffs and gentler southern slopes.
The mountain appeared on maps for the first time in 1774 in Peter Anich's Atlas Tyrolensis, where it was marked as Wenger Kopf B.
The name Wengen derives from Wang, meaning natural pastureland, reflecting the traditional Alpine farming practices of the Bavarian region.
The Edmund-Probst-Haus at 1,927 meters and the Nebelhornbahn cable car serve as primary access points for climbing the mountain.
The Hindelanger via ferrata crosses the summit, offering a climbing route with partially unsecured passages at grade I difficulty level.
