Hornbach Chain
The Hornbach chain (german: Hornbachkette) is a string of mountains, about 15 kilometres long, in the Allgäu Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol (Bundesland), Tyrol. Geography The Hornbach chain branches at the Öfnerspitze from the main line of the Allgäu Alps and runs in a gentle arc from north to east. In the far west, it branches at the Hornbachspitze and a side ridge runs southwards in which the most important peak of the whole chain, the Großer Krottenkopf (2,656 m) is located. The mountain is also the highest in the whole of the Allgäu Alps. In the west the range is bounded along this side branch by a line that reaches from Holzgau in the south, runs along the Höhenbachtal and Rossgumpental valleys to the Öfnerkar in the north. The boundaries of the main ridge of the Hornbach chain are formed in the north by the Hornbachtal valley with its settlement of Hinterhornbach, in the south by the Lechtal from Holzgau to Vorderhornbach, where it unites with the Hor ...

Its neighbours in the Hornbach chain are the Bretterspitze to the southwest and the ''Zwölfer Spitze'' to the northeast.

Its summit has a striking bell-shaped appearance and is easily identified from the north and south from nearby and more distant summits. First ascent Who first climbed the Urbeleskarspitze cannt be precisely determined. Candidates include unknown locals or a "Dr. Gümbel" in 1854.
