The Kühgundkopf (in Austrian maps: Wannenjoch ) is a 1907 meter (according to Austrian measurements: 1908 m) high mountain in the Allgäu Alps . The Kühgundspitze (1852 m) is a rock head with a cross in the north-eastern ridge of the mountain that descends into the Tannheimer Tal .

Location and surroundings

It is a local mountain of Oberjoch and, together with the Iseler, forms the northern end of the Rauhhorn train . Both from Oberjoch and from Schattwald lifts pull up against this elongated, slightly rocky ridge in the north. There are ski areas there in winter . The height of the gap on the Kühgundspitze is at least 287 meters, its dominance 1.6 kilometers, with the Bschießer reference mountain in each case .

geology

The Kühgundkopf is a main dolomite summit on a base of Lias spotted marl and Kössen layers (ie alternating fine-leaved marl with dark, dense and well-banked limestone ).

Routes to the summit

  • From Oberjoch via the rear Wiedhagalpe (approx. 2.5 hours)
  • From Hinterstein (866 m) over the Zipfelsalpe (approx. 3 hours)
  • From Schattwald (1072 m) through the Stuibental (approx. 2.5 hours)
  • From the Iselerbahn mountain station (Oberjoch) via Iseler and Iselergrat, ridge hike so be careful with children (approx. 1.5 hours)
