When the Lower Gottesackerwände one is 1857  m high mountain in the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria called.

Location and surroundings

The step of the lower Gottesackerwände is almost five kilometers wide, curved slightly to the north in an east-west direction. North of the wall is the Rohrmooser Tal with the Rohrmoossattel (1120 m) above which the flanks of the Piesenkopf (1630) rise. The lower peaks of Gatterkopf (1659 m) and the nameless point 1672 are attached to the eastern foothills. In the north, the Untere Gottesackerwände go over the Windecksattel (1751 m) and the Torkopf (1930 m) to the step of the Upper Gottesackerwände (2033 m) ) over. The mountain is located in the municipality of Oberstdorf .

Origin of name

A Wolfegger archive describes a church wall in 1693 ... Under Gotsackher wall . In 1783, Blasius Huebers Vorarlberg map mentions a church B and 1797 in sheet 105 of Schmitt's map a Gotsacker . It was named after the karst area to the south , the Gottesacker plateau, with Gottesacker meaning cemetery . The reason for the name could have been the loneliness of the plateau.

Ascent

No marked path leads to the summit of the Unteren Gottesackerwände. If you are sure- footed, the ridge height can be reached from the marked hiking trail that leads from the Windecksattel into the Rohrmooser Tal. This path runs from the small notch on the ridge of the height over the insignificant east summit (1848 m). For Windeck saddle you can also access from the Mahdtal or from the west, from the Rubachtal in Sibratsgfäll .
