Origin of name

geology
The appearance of the ridge where the Eastern Wengen head is located, is marked by a Hauptdolomit - thrust . This rises to the north and then shows folded folds to the north . This results in the more gentle south-facing slopes and the steep north-facing slopes. In the north there is a broad band of spotted marls, the valley floor at the northern foot of the mountain is formed by Kössen layers .
Alpinism
The Edmund-Probst-Haus ( 1927 m ) on the Nebelhorn and the Nebelhornbahn are the bases for ascent of the eastern Wengenkopf .
Normal way
Most of the summit as part of a celebration of Hindelanger ferrata exceeded . This is a moderately difficult via ferrata ( B / C ) on the Wengenkopf with partially unsecured climbing passages in the I degree . There are emergency descents from the via ferrata in the notches to the west and northeast of the summit.
Climb
There are several climbing routes on the eastern Wengenkopf. In addition to the north face (II) and the spiral crack on the west shoulder (IV +, A1) from 1944 by Tröndle and Amling, the La Traviata (VIII +) route in the south face, which Robert Jasper and Stefan Meineke first climbed in 1994, should be mentioned.
