The Elferkopf (also Elfer ) is a 2387 m high mountain in the Allgäu Alps .
Location and surroundings
It lies north-northwest of the Liechelkopf and is connected to it by a ridge. To the north-north-west of the Elfer is the slightly lower Zwölfer , whose flanks slope down into the Kleinwalsertal .
Origin of name
The Elferkopf was first mentioned as Wilden B. in Blasius Hueber's Vorarlberg map in 1783. In 1818, it was mentioned as Wildenberg for the Franziszeische Landesaufnahme . To the east of the mountain is the Wildental with the Vorderer and Hinterer Wildenalpe. The name used today has its origins in a " sundial " (see the Zwölfer Mountains ): seen from Hirschegg and Mittelberg in the Kleinwalsertal, the sun rises over the summit of the Elfer at eleven o'clock. An hour later then over the Zwölferkopf.
First ascent
The first ascent of the Elferkopf is not known. When Hermann von Barth climbed the mountain in 1869, he found a signal pole on the summit.
Ascent
There is no marked path leading to the Elferkopf. The routes on Penalty head require surefootedness and head for heights . It can be reached without a path from the Gemsteltal via the western flank ( I ). The crossing to the Liechelkopf is popular with locals ( II ). The east ridge on the Elferkopf is a very seldom used Allgäu grass climb (IV).
