Rote Wand, Alpine summit in Grazer Bergland, Austria

Rote Wand is a 1505 m mountain in the Grazer Bergland of Styria, forming a southwest-northeast ridge above the Mur valley between Bruck an der Mur and Graz. Its defining feature is the southeast-facing Rote Wand, a rock face of partly reddish limestone that gives the mountain its name. To the west lies the neighbouring Röthelstein, with the Bucheben alpine pasture between them, and at the eastern end the Tyrnauer Alm with a hut open in the warm season.

The paths crossing this mountain developed in the early 1900s as local routes connecting nearby villages across difficult terrain. Over time, they were adopted by hikers and gradually shaped into the trails still used today.

The name "Rote Wand" refers to the southeast-facing rock face of partly reddish limestone that gives the ridge its name. Between the Rote Wand and the neighbouring Röthelstein lies the Bucheben alpine pasture, while the Tyrnauer Alm with its hut sits at the eastern end. The area is also known for its ibex colony.

The mountain can be reached from several parking areas, with the main approach from Tyrnau leading most directly to the summit cross. The trails are most accessible between May and October, when snow has cleared and the paths are dry.

Wild ibex have settled on the rocky slopes and can regularly be seen moving across the steepest sections of the terrain. Visitors who pause at the open viewpoints along the trails have a good chance of spotting them without any special equipment.
