Documentation: The Hochvogel is a 2592 m high mountain in the Allgäu Alps. The border between Germany and Austria runs across its summit. Although only the thirteenth highest peak in the Allgäu Alps, the Hochvogel dominates large parts of the Allgäu Alps and the immediately neighboring mountain groups. This is because most of the higher peaks are concentrated in the central and western part of the Allgäu Alps. The Hochvogel stands freely in the eastern part of the mountain group; the nearest peaks are 200 to 300 meters lower. Experienced mountaineers can climb the summit using a marked route. The Hochvogel - like the other highest and most striking mountains in the Allgäu Alps - consists of main dolomite. Tectonically it belongs to the so-called Lechtal cover. These rock packages were pushed over younger rock layers as the Alps unfolded. The main dolomite is partly brittle, but in interaction with the erosive forces it sometimes forms striking peaks. Summit area of the Hochvogel in November 2018. To the right of the summit cross there is a widening crevice in the rock, the entire area to the right of the crevice is in danger of falling into the valley. The hut chronicle of the Prinz-Luitpold-Haus reports on a huge rock fall on the 27th. May 1935, when thousands of cubic meters of rock fell from the southwest wall into the valley. Further rockfalls occurred in 2005, 2007 and 2016, the latter involving several thousand cubic meters of rock.[2] The fissure in the summit area, which has been known for over 50 years, expanded significantly in the summer of 2014. During an inspection by the Tyrolean state geologist in September 2014, the fissure, which is already over two meters wide in the upper area, was estimated to be one hundred meters deep. Due to the acute risk of rock falls, the climb over Bäumeheimer Weg was then officially closed because it is in the potential demolition area.[3] In autumn 2018, the gap had widened again by 30 cm (since the last check in summer 2014). That's why new measuring devices were installed. There is a possibility that the affected rock area, totaling 260,000 cubic meters, could soon slide and fall into the valley in a southerly direction, without endangering human settlements.[4] Permafrost expert Michael Krautblatter from the Technical University of Munich is leading the measurements at the crevice.[5] In a television documentary on ARD[6] he assessed the increased Dynamics in autumn and winter 2018 with several millimeters of movement per month as an indication that another rock fall at Hochvogel could perhaps have occurred in 2019. In the winter of 2020, the crack and the measurements at the summit of the Hochvogel were reported again.[7] According to current findings, geologists assume there will be six smaller collapses of 8,000 to 130,000 cubic meters each, rather than one large rock fall. There are also reports of another transverse fissure at the summit, which split three times as fast as the main fissure itself.[8] Heavy rainfall accelerates the development, but advance warning of rock falls is possible two to three days in advance using measuring instruments.[9] In the older editions of the Allgäu Alps Alpine Association guide, it is assumed that the mountain was climbed early. One of the most notable tourist climbs was the crossing of the mountain by Hermann von Barth. Hermann von Barth spent the night at the summit in 1869. On 19 In July of that year he started in Sonthofen in the morning and reached Hinterstein - exclusively on foot - where, after a lunch break, he continued at 12 p.m. Via the Bärgündlealpe, the Brückenscharte and the Kalten Winkel he reached the summit of the Hochvogel at around 8 p.m. The next day he descended south on the east side of the south-southwest ridge into the Rosskar and on to Hinterhornbach. That day he made it to the mouth of the Schwarzwasserbach and the Lech, where he spent the night in an abandoned alpine hut. The next day he hiked via Weißenbach and the Gaichtpass to Nesselwängle, climbed the Aggenstein and spent the night in Schattwald. On the fourth day of his violent tour he was back in Sonthofen early in the morning. Source: Wikipedia The Hochvogel is a 2592 m high mountain in the Allgäu Alps.
