The Kälbelespitze is a 2135 meter high mountain in the Allgäu Alps .
Location and surroundings
The border between Germany in the west and Austria in the east runs over the summit of the Kälbelespitze . It is located in the federal states of Bavaria and Tyrol and in the municipal areas of Bad Hindelang and Weißenbach am Lech .
The Kälbelespitze rises at the southern end of the Karmulde , in which the Schrecksee (1813 m) is located. The Rauhhornzug , which runs north, separates the Mulde from another in which the Alplsee (1630 m) lies. In the Rauhhornzug the Kirchendachsattel (1927 m) sinks before it rises again towards the Rauhhorn (2240 m). The saddle and mountain are the reference points for the height of the gap and the dominance of the Kälbelespitze, which are 208 meters and 2.8 kilometers respectively. A ridge stretches from its summit to the east, running towards Lachenspitze (2126 m). The Rauhhornzug continues to the west in the direction of the Hochvogel group .
With the box head (2129 m) the Kälbelespitze has a "twin peak" in the west ridge, which is separated from the main peak by a notch of about 50 meters.
geology
The top of the calf's tip is made up of main dolomite , which is placed on a base made of layers of chalk .
Origin of name
The Kälbelespitze was first mentioned in Schmitt's map of southwest Germany (sheet 108 "Wertach") from 1797 as Kälbeleseck . In a description of the national borders from 1844, the Kalbeles = Eck = Spitz . This means the point above the ridge that two-year-old cattle preferred to graze on.
Ascent
There is no marked and laid-out path leading to the Kälbelespitze. All climbs are characterized by brittle rock and are rarely used despite the close proximity to popular hiking trails. The normal path leads from the Hall fields Höhenweg to Jubiläumsweg the south face of the extending therethrough over steep terrain and grass Schrofen the peak. The difficulty is the 1st degree and surefootedness is required. The southern flank can be reached from the Landsberger Hütte (1810 m) on the Saalfelder Höhenweg and from the Prinz-Luitpold-Haus (1846 m) via the Jubiläumsweg. In addition, a path leads up from Hinterstein past the Schrecksee. The ridge crossing from the Kirchendachscharte moves in the III. Level of difficulty. The transition to the box head is hardly easier.
