The Kienberg is a 1533 m above sea level. NHN high mountain (height fluctuates between 1533 and 1536 m depending on the source) and at the same time a 3 km long massif between Achtal and Vilstal in the Tannheimer mountains of the Allgäu Alps in the Pfrontens area ( Ostallgäu district ).
Environment and structure
The mountain range is the northern limit of the Tannheimer Berge and is therefore located south of the Edelsberg (1630 m) and the Vilstal and north of the Breitenberg (1838 m) and the Achtal . The Kingdom of Heaven and the Westerkienberg (1488 m) connect to the west , while Pfronten is to the east .
The ridge is divided from east to west into the 1st Pfrontener mountain (1297 m, also Kienberg shoulder ), the 2nd Pfrontener mountain (1357 m, also Leh summit ), the 3rd Pfrontener mountain (1384 m, also Krenge) -Gipfel ), the Schnalskopf (1455 m, also Oberer-Hof-Summit ) and the Kienberg main summit.
