Rötelstein, Mountain summit in Filzmoos, Austria.
The Rötelstein peak rises to 2247 meters within the Dachstein Massif, featuring broken amber limestone formations and steep rocky slopes.
The mountain paths through Rötelstein developed as essential routes for local farmers moving between valley settlements and high alpine pastures since medieval times.
Local mountaineering traditions revolve around the annual summer solstice celebrations when hikers gather at Rötelstein's summit to mark the longest day.
Visitors can reach the mountain through marked trails starting at Rettensteinhütte Car Park, with the complete circuit covering 9.8 kilometers over approximately 5 hours.
The mountain's red-tinted limestone composition sets it apart from surrounding grey peaks, creating a natural geological marker in the Salzburg landscape.
