From Hinang - Sonnenkopf - Schnippenkopf - Entschenkopf - Hinang: the first climb towards Sonnenkopf was the steepest and most strenuous part of the tour. It took us a little over an hour to get to Sonnenkopf. It then took another 40 minutes to get to Schnippenkopf. From there you can also see the mighty Entschenkopf. The path is quite narrow and leads through scree and branches. Further up it gets even rockier. I wouldn't recommend the tour without poles. Towards the end we put the poles away and scrambled up in four-wheel drive mode. You really need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights here. Unfortunately you can't see the markings straight away. Once you get to the top, the 360-degree view of the mountains and valleys is very impressive. You can also take a break here, there is enough space. There was not much going on at the summit and in general, we were mostly alone. The way back was quite long. It took us almost exactly 5 hours.

The Entschenkopf is a 2043 m high mountain in the Allgäu Alps. Its south-widening ridge forms the eastern boundary of Gaisalptals.
The Entschenkopf can be reached from the north (from the Falkenjoch) as well as from the south (from the upper Gaisalpsee). Both climbs require sure-footedness and a head for heights.
