description

The Sigiswanger Horn is "a head that is barely noticed and covered by forest". The summit of this horn can be climbed in a few minutes from the panorama path on the so-called Allgäuer Hörnertour , which runs between the Ofterschwanger Horn and the Weiherkopf . The summit of the Sigiswanger Horn is only adorned by a mossy pile of stones. This summit is - coming from the north - the second of four on the Hörnertour. The Hörnertour is a route that is taken both in summer and in winter (e.g. with snowshoes ). In winter, however, the route is neither marked nor signposted.

To the north of the Sigiswanger Horn is the Fahnengehrenalpe ( 1329 m ), to the east the Schwingundalpe ( 1078 m ) and the Kahlückenalpe ( 1189 m ), to the south the Sigiswangerhornalpe ( 1407 m ).

The name Sigiswanger Horn is named after the village Sigiswang , which lies at the eastern foot of the mountain. Sigiswang is a district of Ofterschwang. According to Thaddäus Steiner , the place name Sigiswang is formed in the first part from the old German personal name Sigi . In maps from the early 19th century, the spelling of the mountain is still Siegeswanger Horn .
