The Storkenkopf is the second highest summit of the Vosges Mountains. It is located in the French region of Alsace, close to the Grand Ballon.
In German and in Alsatian Storkenkopf means Storks' head.
The mountain is divided between the French municipalities of Saint-Amarin, Geishouse and Lautenbachzell, all belonging to the Haut-Rhin department. Nearby the mountain's top there is the ferme du Haag, a farm which also provides accommodation.
The well known Route des Crêtes (French for road of the peaks) transits not faraway from the top of the mountain, which is possible to reach on foot following a forest service road of about 2 km.
