Kuhgehrenspitze, 1910 m

Little-known lookout point in Kleinwalsertal Almost within shouting distance of the colorfully populated Fellhorn - Kanzelwand mega ski circus, a grassy mountain that is rarely visited in both summer and winter lies dormant. It is the Kuhgehrenspitze, which peaks 850 meters above the Breitach valley floor on a small side ridge of the eastern Walsertal mountains. It used to be reserved for ski tourers only. But since snowshoes have become more and more popular in the Allgäu, the prudent mountain lover wonders whether the increasingly matted forest belts make the tour more suitable for the gentle foot plates than for the sharp steel edges that shave the shoots on the young trees. Apart from these three narrow strips of spruce, the Kuhgehrenspitze promises the best views. The Trettachspitze, Mädelegabel and Hochfrottspitze stretch across the rocky ridge between the Kanzelwand and the Walser Hammerspitze. The mighty bulwark of the Widderstein and the overpowering Zwölferkopf and Elferkopf peaks make a defiant impression. The jagged peaks around the Mindelheimer Hütte and the distant Lechquellengebirge present themselves magnificently. Below us, the homely scattered settlements of the Kleinwalsertal valley line the gleaming white banks of the Breitach. And on the Heuberg, the extensive avalanche barriers give us pause for thought.(Automatically translated by DeepL)
