Roßfeld, Mountain peak in Berchtesgaden Alps, Austria and Germany.

Roßfeld is a mountain peak in the Berchtesgaden Alps that straddles the border between Austria and Germany. The summit rises to 1537 meters and displays varied terrain with meadows and rock formations that differ notably on each side of the border.

The Roßfeld is a slab of Roßfeld Formation — siliceous sandstone and chert-bearing sandy marl about 130 million years old, from the Hauterivian to Barremian stages of the Early Cretaceous. It lies thrust over the Triassic Hallstatt and Reichenhall beds (200–230 million years) that carry the Hallein salt mountain, and just west of the summit a remnant of Ladinian dolomite and Haselgebirge of the Upper Permian (230–260 million years) survives. The ridge runs from the Hoher Göll and Kehlsteinhaus north over the Hahnenkamm and Ahornbüchsenkogl (1604 m) to the Zinkenkopf (1336 m) and the Dürrnberg.

The Roßfeldalm and the Oberen and Unteren Ahornalm lie on the western flank above Berchtesgaden, and the Roßfeld-Skihütte stands in the Eck district. The alpine pastures are farmed as a cross-border recreation area, and the Austrian stretch of the Roßfeldhöhenringstraße has been a protected landscape since 1960. A summer toboggan run operates from Dürrnberg-Gmerk on the Zinkenkopf, the 1336 m northern side summit.

The Roßfeldhöhenringstraße is a toll panoramic road that runs east of the Hahnenkamm ridge and, although a German federal private road, partly crosses Austrian territory. The Austrian section has been a protected landscape area since 1960. The road gives access to the summit and the alpine pastures; a summer toboggan run operates from Dürrnberg-Gmerk on the Zinkenkopf side peak.

The eastern flank drops steeply toward the Salzachtal valley with an elevation difference of around 1000 meters. This sharp descent creates vastly different landscapes and wind patterns on each side.
