The Schwabenkopf is 3378 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Kaunergrat in the Ötztal Alps , which breaks off with a mighty, 1000 m high flank into the Verpeiltal.
The first ascent of the summit took place in 1892 by Theodor Petersen with the Kaunertal mountain guides Johann Praxmarer and Johann Penz. The Verpeilhütte and the Kaunergrathütte are nearby .
The name is probably associated with the children of the Kauner and Pitztal valleys, who used to be loaned out to Swabia every summer as agricultural workers.
