Forest Trail to Sonnenkopf

Highlight • Trail

The ascent to the Sonnenkopf runs through the mountain forest, which is quite pleasant in hot weather. Some attention must be paid to the many roots.

Heidelbeerkopf

Highlight • Summit

The blueberry head is the middle of the 3 heads, also offers great panoramas but is the only one without a summit cross.😞
It probably got its name from the many blueberries on the entire slope

The Schnippenkopf is a 1,833 meter high mountain in the Allgäu Alps. It lies in the mountain range known as the Sonnenköpfe, which branches off to the north at the Gundkopf, which borders the Illertal to the east and ends in the Imberger Horn near Hindelang. The Schnippenkopf is the highest and southernmost of the partially wooded elevations that follow the Entschenkopf to the north.

The Schnippenkopf can be easily reached on marked paths. A popular ascent is from the Gaisalpe over the Falkenjoch and over the grassy slopes to the summit.

September 29, 2024,Sonnenkopf, Heidelberg 🫐& Schnippenkopf 🏔

Finally summit time again and this time 3😊 Unfortunately one of them didn't have a summit cross (the Heidelberg) but the view was no less beautiful. Today everything was just right, the weather, the light and the food at the summit😊 🍩Great round despite the snow and just the right thing to start your vacation 😍

I prefer the tour the other way around, counterclockwise. I take a break on Schnippenkopf, usually alone, because everyone has to climb the other peaks first. Although I usually start so early that it almost doesn't matter to me. 😇
