The summit cross of the Schöner Mann can be reached on a meadow path that is not technically demanding. The climb is definitely worth it, the direct view of the Schwarzenberg, Karrenbergstation, Staufenspitz etc., the surrounding Vorarlberg Alps and even Lake Constance is wonderful.

There is no signpost to this summit, switch on the Komoot app and follow the path, then it will work ;-)

The "Schöner Mann" summit is a great mountain with a great view.

The various tour options are also great. You can either just go to the summit, in which case it is an easy but beautiful tour, or you can combine it with Wanfluhgrad, Löwenzahn, Bocksberg, etc. Depending on your mood, fitness level and ability 😉

The naming of the mountain is exceptionally inconsistent. The summit is not marked at all on the Franziszeisch cadastre (original map), and the name "Schöner Mann" refers to a point at the western end of the ridge with a distinctive rock formation. This remains the same on the national survey of 1871/72, while the revised national survey of 1887 still sets this point at 1478 m above sea level. It is not until the special map of 1908–1915 that the summit itself is also marked, but only with a height of 1539 m and without a name. This remains the case until the provisional ÖK50 of 1946/47. On the later editions of the ÖK50 (from 1961) the summit itself is referred to as "Schöner Mann" with a height of 1532 m. The current edition refers to the peak as "Wendkopf" and places the name "Schöner Mann" roughly in the same place as on the maps before 1961, but without marking a specific point. The hiking map published by the city of Dornbirn refers to the peak as "Wängkopf" and places the "Schöner Mann" on a secondary peak at 1522 m above sea level. Other hiking maps and the Alpine Club guide explicitly refer to the peak as "Schöner Mann".

"Schöner Mann" is therefore a name that has always been related to the mountain and has been used alternately for the mountain itself, for the rock formation at the western end and for a secondary peak. The main peak is also alternately referred to as "Schöner Mann", "Wendkopf" or "Wängkopf", although official maps before 1961 do not have any name for the peak at all, even though it is the highest elevation in the Schuttannen mountains.
