Be sure to wear mountain boots. Do not go in wet weather. You should have a head for heights and a go on climbing. Otherwise on the summit a very nice 360 degree view

The Sorgschrofen is a 1635 meter high mountain in the Allgäu Alps. A secondary peak of the Sorgschrofen is the Zinken (1613 m).
Its summit is the only land connection between the municipality of Jungholz, which is part of the Austrian state, and the rest of the state of Tyrol. Since the border treaty between Bavaria and Austria of 1844 and a supplementary treaty of 1850, there has been the rare peculiarity at the summit of the Sorgschrofen that four border lines each of two German and Austrian municipalities meet in a quasi-four-country corner:
Bad Hindelang (West, Germany)
Pfronten (East, Germany)
Jungholz (north, Austrian functional enclave)
Schattwald (south, Austria)
Crossing the ridge to the main summit is reserved for experienced mountain hikers who are absolutely sure-footed and free from giddiness, as the path is marked and partly secured with ropes, but is often very exposed. The climb can be icy well into spring. Then an inspection - even for experienced people - is not recommended.

Only with mountain shoes and do not go in the wet. You should be free from giddiness and have a go at climbing. Otherwise 360 degree summit view
