The Öfnerspitze is a 2576 m (according to Austrian surveys: 2575 m above sea level ) high rock mountain in the Allgäu Alps .
Origin of name
The Öfnerspitze was first mentioned in hunting records from 1627 as an opener püz . It is also recorded in the Atlas Tyrolensis of 1774, this time as Oefner Spiz . Since the mountain was assigned to the Krottenspitzen from the Bavarian side , the name probably came from the Lech Valley. The word “ oven ” comes into question as ancestry, which can also mean jagged, holey rocks in Tyrol, Carinthia and Styria . This would reflect the character of the mountain well.
Location and surroundings
The Öfnerspitze is very centrally located within the Allgäu High Alps. It forms the place of accumulation of the three large chains of the central main ridge , the Hornbach chain and the northern main ridge. From a cultural point of view, the pure Tyrolean Hornbach chain branches off from the Öfnerspitze from the main ridge, which is otherwise consistently on the German / Austrian border; from a geological point of view, the northern main ridge, interspersed with marl rocks , splits here from the dominant main dolomite band with the ten highest peaks of the Allgäu Alps. This is how the three main ridges run from the Öfnerspitze
- northwest in a flat saddle ( 2473 m ) to the Krottenspitze ( 2551 m ) and then on to the Kreuzeck ( 2376 m ),
- southeast over the Marchergang ( 2439 m ) to the Hornbachspitze ( 2533 m ), which is followed by the Große Krottenkopf ( 2656 m ) as a further junction and
- in the southwest to the Muttlerkopf ( 2366 m ), as the link over the Mädelejoch to the central main ridge.
Ascent
The first ascent of the Öfnerspitze cannot be traced, as part of a survey in 1854 the Öfnerspitze was probably climbed. In the same year, Dr. Gümbel on the mountain.
No laid-out path leads to the Öfnerspitze. The easiest ascent leads over Öfnerkar to the southwest ridge. It requires climbing skills of the 1st degree , surefootedness and a head for heights . Another possible ascent variant , which J. Richter and L. Rieger started for the first time in 1894, is from the Schaferloch cirque in the west, whereby the difficulties are partly the III. Degree. The southern flank (II) was climbed by Chr. Wolff in 1890, the eastern ridge (III) by Josef Enzensperger and his companions in 1893 . The route from Gümbel led from the March (II) to the summit.
