Rotwand, Mountain summit in Mangfall Mountains, Bavaria, Germany
The Rotwand rises to 1,884 meters in elevation, forming the highest peak of the Spitzingsee region with limestone formations near its summit.
In 2006, the Rotwand area witnessed the presence of JJ1, the first wild bear in Germany in 170 years, which was later eliminated near Rotwandhaus.
The mountain name translates to Red Wall in German, reflecting the geological characteristics of the distinctive rock formations in the area.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit, including a route from Spitzingsee through Pfanngraben gorge and an easier access from Taubenstein mountain station.
The Rotwandhaus mountain hut sits at 1,737 meters below the summit, serving as a rest point for hikers and skiers throughout the seasons.
