Location and surroundings
The mountain , located in the northwestern Walsertal Mountains subgroup , forms the western end of the Schwarzwassertal valley and towers over the Subersach valley in the southeast. As the southern end point, it rises from the arch of steep rock faces that run from the Sevischrofen (1659 m), the Hohen Ifen (2229 m) and Berlingersköpfle (2010 m) here. To the south, the flanks of the Hählekopf drop down to the Gerachsattel (1752 m) and from there rise to the Steinmandl (1982 m). To the west the area goes over to the Diedamskopf (2090 m). The notch height of the Hählekopf is at least 138 meters.
The district on which the Hählekopf is located is Egg , which is 16 kilometers away. The border with the municipality of Bezau also runs over the summit . The closest town is Schoppernau at a distance of approximately 5.5 kilometers.
Origin of name
In 1866, Hellekopf was first mentioned on a map of Austria with Hellekopf . As eponymous, the cock comes into question, with which the cock's head would be related in the Allgäu language. It would also be possible to use the dialectic term “hal” for slippery or slippery.
Ascent
The Schwarzwasserhütte (1620 m) in the Schwarzwassertal serves as a base for an ascent of the Hählekopf . The Neuhornbachhaus (1650 m) above the Bregenz Ach valley is also not far away.

An ascent is carried out either over the Ifersgundalpe (1750 m) or the Gerachsattel. An alternative access via the Hohen Ifen also leads from the east. The southern variant over the Gerachsattel can also be started from the Neuhornbachhaus or the Schönenbach pass . In the summit area the terrain steepens.
