Weiher Kopf

Weiher Kopf rises to 1,665 meters (5,463 ft) within the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park and features meadows on one side and forest on the other. The varied landscape across its slopes makes this summit a diverse walking destination.

The mountain's name appeared on 18th-century maps as Veier before changing to Weiher Kopf in topographical records after 1940. This name change reflects how knowledge and mapping of the landscape shifted over time.

The walking routes connect to the Allgäu Hörner Tour, a network of trails that shows how much Alpine hiking means to people in this region. Visitors follow the same paths that generations of locals have walked.

The Hörnerbahn gondola lift from Bolsterlang transports visitors to a middle station at 1,350 meters (4,429 ft), providing easy access to walking routes. Trails are well-marked from this point and suit different fitness levels.

The summit area serves as a launch point for paragliders throughout the year and includes FIS-certified downhill skiing routes in winter. This mix of sports activities makes it appealing to visitors with different interests.
