Weiher Kopf

Weiher Kopf, Mountain summit in Allgäu Alps, Bavaria, Germany

The Weiherkopf is a 1,665-metre summit in the Hörner Group of the Allgäu Alps, inside the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park. It is half open pasture and half woodland, and its top gives a wide view from the Grünten to the Großer Widderstein. The Bolsterlanger Horn lies to the southwest and the Rangiswanger Horn to the north.

In 18th-century maps the mountain is recorded as Veier; from 1940 the topographical map of Fischen names it Weiher Kopf. No pond (Weiher) that could explain the name has been identified. Thaddäus Steiner considers it plausible that it was once Weihenkopf, meaning a peak where red kites (old German Gabelweihe) liked to stay.

The name Weiherkopf appears on Fischen maps from 1940, earlier 18th-century maps call the mountain Veier. Thaddäus Steiner suggested it may once have been Weihenkopf, "peak where kites stay", after the Gabelweihe, an old name for the red kite. The Allgäuer Hörnertour crosses the summit as an intermediate stop; in winter it is walked but not waymarked.

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 old Weiherkopf drag lift, in service for over 40 years, was replaced in summer 2013 by the six-seater Weiherkopfbahn chairlift. The Hörnerbahn gondola reaches the Horngrat ridge at 1,540 m between the Bolsterlanger Horn and the Weiherkopf, and the summit is a launch site for paragliders in both summer and winter.
