The Eineguntkopf , or the Rohnehöhe, is a mountain in the Nagelfluh chain on the northern edge of the Allgäu Alps . It has a height of 1639  m .

location

The state border between Austria and Germany and the border between the municipalities of Hittisau (Vorarlberg) and Oberstaufen (Bavaria) run across the mountain . The Einguntkopf appears dominant in the Nagelfluhkette, as it is broad and towers above its two neighboring mountains.

Names

This mountain has two completely different names, which are derived from two alpine farms . In Germany it is called after the Eingunt-Alpe ( 1372  m ) in the northern Kar zum Hohenfluhalpkopf, in Austria it is called Rohnehöhe after the Rohne-Alpe on its southern slope.

Alps

As on all mountains of the Nagelfluhkette, the slopes are used for summer mountain pastures. On the German side they are

• Obere Stiegalpe ( 1178  m ),
• Middle Stiegalpe ,
• Zugalpe ( 1249  m ) and
• Lower Zugalpe ,

while the Einegunt-Alpe itself is more likely to be assigned to the Hohenfluhalpkopf. The Alps on the Hittisau side are that

• Rohne-Alpe ( 1400  m ) ,
• Record table alpe and
• Glockenplattealpe ( 1276  m ).

tourism

In connection with ridge hikes on the Nagelfluhkette, the Einguntkopf is also a popular hiking destination. In addition to the connecting ridge paths to the Falkenköpf and Hochhädrich westwards and to the Hohenfluhalpkopf, Seelekopf and Hochgrat eastwards, there is also a direct path from the Falkenhütte to the summit.

The Falkenhütte (approx. 1450  m ) is a mountain inn and a base close to the ridge for hikers and winter sports enthusiasts. In winter, a drag lift takes skiers from there to the Einguntkopf ridge.

The ski tour over the north slope and west ridge is also suitable for beginners.
