The eastern Ochsenhofer Kopf (1965) can be reached on the ridge between Muttelbergscharte and Ochsenhofer Scharte. Together with the western Ochsenhofer head, it forms the 'Ochsenhofer head'.
From here you have a beautiful view of the Schwarzwassertal and Kleinwalsertal.

September 18, 2025,Gratweg über die Ochsenhofer Köpfe mit Grünhorn

Late summer has sprung up 😁🌞 So off to Kleinwalsertal ⛰️ From Baad, we head over the Ochsenhofer Köpfe. A beautiful ridge path with a bit of scrambling that's always a lot of fun! You definitely need to be sure-footed. The real challenge, though, is probably not collapsing from the panorama—Hohe Ifen on the right and Widderstein on the left—from …

A really nice mountain tour in the Kleinwalsertal with @Thomas Lacher over the Ochsenhofer Koepfe on the Grünhorn.

The path goes over the heads with somewhat smaller scrambles; sure-footedness is required here.

September 21, 2021,A/Vorarlberg/Kleinwalsertal/Baad - Zum Grünhorn...Gratwanderung über Muttelbergkopf

After what felt like a very long time, I drove back towards the mountains because friends were on vacation in the Allgäu.

The starting point of our hike was Baad in the Kleinwalsertal. From the parking lot at the end of the valley, the path led upwards towards Grünhorn and Starzeljoch. Past the Starzelhaus mountain inn, first along a gravel …
