They are part of the [[Allgäu Alps]] in the [[Austria]]n state of [[Tyrol (state)|Tyrol]]. The Hornbach chain leaves the main ridge of the [[Allgäu Alps]] at the [[Öfnerspitze]]. It arcs from the north to the east. In the west another branch goes south, which is where the [[Großer Krottenkopf]] (2,656 m) is found. The mountain is the highest in the whole [[Allgäu Alps]]. On the main ridge of the Hornbach chain, the highest peaks are the [[Marchspitze]] (2,609 m), the [[Bretterspitze]] (2,608 m) and the [[Urbeleskarspitze]] (2,632 m). They are all in the ten most important summits of the [[Allgäu Alps]]. == Other reading / maps == * Dieter Seibert: ''Alpenvereinsführer Allgäuer Alpen und Ammergauer Alpen''.
