Hinterreintalschrofen, Alpine summit in Bavaria, Germany
Hinterreintalschrofen rises to 2,669 meters in the Wetterstein Mountains and forms part of the east-west oriented Teufelsgrat ridge in the Eastern Alps. The peak consists of distinctive rock formations and steep slopes that give this mountain region its distinctive character.
The first documented climb occurred on September 1, 1871, when Freiherr Hermann von Barth reached the summit. This ascent marked the beginning of mountaineering exploration in this part of the high Alps.
The summit marks a natural border between Bavaria and Tyrol, embodying centuries of Alpine traditions shared between German and Austrian mountain communities.
Climbers access the mountain from Rotmoosalm at 1,810 meters and follow a route through rock gullies and scree slopes. This path demands basic climbing skills and secure footing on exposed terrain.
The north face forms a massive rock wall that drops into Reintal valley, serving as one of the most striking features of this mountain chain. This vertical rock flank is visible from many vantage points in the valley below and shapes how the entire region appears.
