The Sorgschrofen is a 1635-meter-high mountain in the Allgäu Alps, it is a point where two German and two Austrian borders meet at what is called a quadripoint with Germany to the west and east and Austria to the north and south. This effectively means that the Austrian territory of Jungholz to the north of the mountain is an exclave.

The Sorgschrofen is popular as a hiking mountain. The mountain hiker can climb the Sorgschrofen in two ways: going from Jungholz directly to the main summit or from Unterjoch over the Zinken, which lies 265 meters southwest of the main peak. The crossing of the ridge to the main summit is reserved only to practiced mountain hikers and there are warnings that one can easily slip and fall. The route is partly secured by ropes but this is not the case everywhere. The trail can be frozen until well into spring and therefore is a route which is only for very experienced hikers.

In order to visit the mountain, I stayed at Camping Jungholz which lies to the north and is easily accesible for a bike trip or hike around the mountain! In view of the warnings, I did not attempt to go up it to the top!
