Schafalpenköpfe
The Schafalpenköpfe are a small mountain formation, consisting of three peaks, the First (2,272 m), Second (2,302 m) and Third Schafalpenkopf (2,320 m). A 2.4-kilometre-long klettersteig of medium difficulty (grade C), the Mindelheimer Klettersteig, runs over them. Origin of the name The naming of the mountains as ''Die Wilden'', "the Wild Ones" probably comes from the valley of Kleinwalsertal to the north, because they do not appear to be of agricultural value from that side. They were first mentioned in 1783 as the ''Wilden Köpf'' in Blasius Hueber's Vorarlberg map. The name of "Schafalpenköpfe" comes from the south and refers to the rocky summits (''Felsköpfe'') above the alpine sheep pastures (''Schäfalpen'') of the Taufersbergalpe, an alpine meadow. The name first appears as ''Schäfalpenkopf'' and ''Schäfalpenköpfl'' in 1819 in an old survey sheet of the Bavarian State Office for Survey and Geoinformation in Munich.

It is part of the Schafalpenköpfe and the Mindelheim Klettersteig. Location and surrounding area The border between Germany and Austria runs over the summit of the First Schafalpenkopf, simultaneously dividing the states of Bavaria and Vorarlberg. On the Bavarian side it belongs to the administrative areas of the county of Oberallgäu and the market town of Oberstdorf, on Austria soil to the district of Bregenz and the parish of Mittelberg. To the northeast the Second Schafalpenkopf (2,302 m) follows the First, the two being separated by a 2,170-metre-high arête. It is the reference point for the First Schafalpenkopf's topographic prominence of 102 metres. Its isolation is 500 metres, reaching to the Second Schafalpenkopf. To the south of the First Schafalpenkopf is the valley of Rappenalptal. To ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mountain
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited Summit (topography), summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are Monadnock, isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountain formation, Mountains are formed through Tectonic plate, tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through Slump (geology), slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce Alpine climate, colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the Montane ecosystems, ecosys ...

Klettersteig
A via ferrata (Italian language, Italian for "iron path", plural ''vie ferrate'' or in English ''via ferratas'') is a protected climbing route found in the Alps and certain other locations. The term "via ferrata" is used in most countries and languages except notably in German-speaking regions, which use ''Klettersteig''—"climbing path" (plural ''Klettersteige''). Infrastructure A via ferrata is a climbing route that employs steel cables, rungs or ladders, fixed to the rock to which the climbers affix #Safety and equipment, a harness with two leashes, which allows the climbers to secure themselves to the metal fixture and limit any fall. The cable and other fixtures, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps, and ladders and bridges, provide both footings and handholds, as well. This allows climbing on otherwise dangerous routes without the risks of unprotected scrambling and climbing or the need for technical climbing equipment. They expand the opportunities for acce ...

Alpine Club Guide
The ''Alpine Club Guides'' (german: Alpenvereinsführer, commonly shortened to ''AV Führer'' or ''AVF'') are the standard series of Alpine guides that cover all the important mountain groups in the Eastern Alps. They are produced jointly by the German (DAV), Austrian (ÖAV) and South Tyrol Alpine Clubs (AVS). They have been published since 1950 by the firm of Bergverlag Rother in Munich, Germany. The AV guides contain all the routes – hiking trails, mountain hut approaches and summit climbs as well as ice and high mountain routes and ''klettersteigs'' in each mountain range. The descriptions are factual and dry, with few illustrations - rather unlike mountain books by e.g. Walter Pause – and despite introductory sections require general Alpine knowledge and experience. Examples are the ''AVF Allgäuer Alpen'' and the ''AVF Verwallgruppe''.The AV guides are often used as the basis for other publications and complement the Alpine Club maps or other map series.

Kleinwalsertal
Kleinwalsertal is a valley in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg and part of the Bregenz district. It includes the municipality of Mittelberg and consists of three villages along the River Breitach. Due to the geographic location in the Allgäu Alps with its alpine terrain, the Kleinwalsertal has no direct traffic connection to the rest of Vorarlberg. It is accessible only via Oberstdorf, Germany, to the north, and thus is an Austrian "practical exclave" or "pene-exclave". Etymology The name of the valley derives from the Walsers who moved there from the Valais (german: Wallis) in the 13th century (see also "Großwalsertal"). Geography Natural geography The Kleinwalsertal is a high valley in the Allgäu Alps and is located in the east of Vorarlberg. The Breitach river runs through the entire valley and is fed by a few side streams, which come from the side valleys of the Kleinwalsertal. The Kleinwalsertal is almost completely surrounded by high mountains of the Allgäu Alps, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
