Rotenfels

Rotenfels is a mountain massif in the Nahe Valley with steep rock faces and multiple peaks in Rhineland-Palatinate. The highest point reaches 327 meters and offers views across the surrounding forested landscape and river valley.

The area was settled in early times and became part of Germany's regional history. Throughout the centuries, the mountain remained a landmark in the cultural landscape of the middle Rhine valley.

The location draws hikers from the surrounding area who spend their time outdoors and connect with the natural environment. It shapes how local communities see themselves as nature enthusiasts and regularly attracts visitors exploring the region.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with parking available at the base of the mountain. The routes vary in steepness and take anywhere from thirty minutes to several hours depending on the path chosen.

The massif consists of three distinctly different peaks that form varying silhouettes when viewed from the valley. This composition makes the mountain appear quite different depending on the viewing angle and location.
