The Zwölferkopf is a 1284 m high summit on the Bavarian-Tyrolean border near Pfronten and Vils .
Location and landscape
The summit is located in the Falkensteinkamm or Zirmgrat 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 Topographical Map (ATK25) as a Zwölferkopf . The summit is unnamed in the Austrian map (ÖK50), and the Zwölferkopf is the summit Kote 1293 500 meters east, which is called Salober on the Bavarian side , and Zirmgrat in older Austrian maps . There is a shift in the names of the summits from both sides: the ridge originally formed the border of the rule of Vils , the Saloberalpe , which lies further east above Vils, was part of the city of Füssen for a long time as the pre-Alps.
The name Zwölfer probably refers to the place Roßmoos , to which it indicates noon. To the west lies the Einerkopf (1280 m), whose location suggests that the Salober 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 ).

- ↑ Both cards agree on this summit name.
- ↑ For the more westerly summit, the common reference point would be somewhere at the uninhabited northern foot of the ridge, not in the settlement area, for the Salober as a "twelve" rather against Wiedmar . An old waypoint on the country road on the eastern outskirts of Rossmoos would appear plausible.
