The Third Schafalpenkopf (also Höchst Schafalpenkopf or Northeastern Schafalpenkopf ) is a 2320 meter high mountain in the Allgäu Alps . It is part of the Mindelheim via ferrata .

Location and surroundings

The summit of the Third Schafalpenkopf is located on the territory of Germany in the state of Bavaria . Thus it lies in the administrative area of the Oberallgäu district and belongs to Oberstdorf . The border to Austria with the federal state of Vorarlberg and the municipality of Mittelberg runs a little to the northwest of the summit .

To the north lies the Fiderepass (2033 m) with the Fiderepasshütte (2067 m), which form the transition to the Oberstdorfer Hammerspitze (2260 m). To the east, the ridge runs over the Fiderescharte (2214 m) and the Roßgundscharte (2005 m) to the Roßgundkopf (2139 m). Between the above-mentioned ridges, the Warmatsgundsbach valley stretches to the northeast, while the Rappenalptal lies to the south of the Third Schafalpenkopf . In the southwest, the Third Schafalpenkopf merges with the Second Schafalpenkopf .

Even further to the south-west is the Kemptner Scharte (2104 m), the reference point for the Schartenhöhe of the Third Schafalpenkopf. From here you can reach the Liechelkopf (2384 m). The dominance of the Third Schafalpenkopf is 2.9 kilometers, so it extends to the Elfer (2387 m) in the west.

In the northwest of the mountain is the Wildental , which leads into the Kleinwalsertal .

Routes

The Mindelheim via ferrata is the normal route for the Third Schafalpenkopf . This medium-difficult via ferrata (C) crosses the mountain from northeast to southwest. Wire rope insurances, iron clips and a ladder bridge in the summit area help the climber.

The routes from the time before the via ferrata was built hardly play a role today. Former Normal had the difficulty I . It led through the south-western Kar Große Wanne to the summit. A route through the east wall (IV. Degree of difficulty) was committed in 1920 by K. Dietmann and O. Metzger. The northern flank of the Fiderepass has difficulty III and runs in brittle stone. The southeast ridge has the difficulty IV +.
