The Salober , also known as Zwölferkopf , is a 1293  m high summit on the Bavarian-Tyrolean border near Pfronten and Vils .

Location and landscape

The little pronounced summit is the highest point of the Falkensteinkamm on the northern edge of the Allgäu Alps . It is located southwest of the Weißensee in the municipality of Füssen , and northwest of the city ​​of Vils .

About the name

The summit is listed in the Bavarian official topographic map  (ATK25) as Salober . The associated Saloberalpe lies to the east on the Austrian side. In the Austrian map  (ÖK50) this mountain is located as Zwölferkopf ; The Bavarian map bears this name, however, 500 meters west on Kote 1284 . On the other hand, on older Austrian maps, the name Salober can be found on Kote 1177 , 1000 meters to the west , and this mountain as Zirmgrat . The ridge originally formed the border of the rule of Vils , but the Saloberalpe belonged to the city of Füssen for a long time as the pre-Alps. The name Saluber , older Zaluber , probably comes from the Latin salūber, –ris  (m.), “Healthy, cheap, beautiful” (also scenic).

The name Zwölfer probably refers to the places Rossmoos and Wiedmar , respectively , to which it indicates noon. To the west is the Einerkopf  (1280 m), whose location suggests that this mountain is the actual Zwölferkopf.

ways

The summit can easily be climbed as a detour from the path from the Falkenstein ruins to the Alatsee . This path is part of the Via Alpina (Trieste – Monaco, Violet Path Slovenia – Vorarlberg, stage A63  Füssen - Pfronten ). Approaches are also possible from Vils via the Saloberalm or on the forest path near Rossmoos / Benken from the north.

  8. For the western summit, the common reference point would be somewhere at the uninhabited northern foot of the ridge, not in the settlement area. An old waypoint on the country road on the eastern edge of the village would appear plausible.
