Schottmalhorn, Mountain summit in Steinernes Meer, Germany and Austria

The Schottmalhorn is a 2225 m (2233 m per the Austrian map) mountain in the Steinernes Meer of the Berchtesgaden Alps, on the Bavaria–Salzburg border. Seen from the Kärlingerhaus it appears as a prominent rock pillar across the Funtensee, and is sometimes mistaken for the Schönfeldspitze. No marked path leads up; the summit is reached only by climbing routes of UIAA grade II and above.

The mountain was shaped by tectonic forces during the Alpine mountain-building period millions of years ago. These processes created the limestone landscape that defines the entire region today.
