The Karkopf is a mountain, 1,738 m, and the highest peak of the whole Lattengebirge range in the German state of Bavaria.

It lies exactly on the boundary between the municipality of Bayerisch Gmain (parish of Forst St. Zeno) to the west and the municipality of Bischofswiesen (parish of Bischofswiesener Forst) to the east.

The mountains of Untersberg, Hoher Göll and Watzmann may be seen to the south, and the Zwiesel and Hochstaufen to the north.

The ascent on the Alpgartensteig path has an easy klettersteig character with several ladders, steps and cables as protection.

The route is only suited to experienced mountain walkers, because you need to have a head for heights and sure-footedness.
