Rotwandhaus, Mountain hut and hotel at Mangfall Mountains, Germany
Rotwandhaus is a mountain hut and hotel located in the Mangfall Mountains at 1737 meters elevation, positioned just below the Rotwand peak. The building provides sleeping accommodations in both private rooms and shared dormitories for hikers and mountaineers.
The hut was built to serve the growing number of hikers exploring the Bavarian Alps and underwent modernization over the decades. It evolved into an established base for travelers following popular mountain routes in the region.
The hut welcomes visitors with traditional Bavarian mountain hospitality, serving hearty local food and providing cozy overnight stays for hikers. This approach creates a friendly gathering place where travelers meet and rest during their mountain journeys.
The hut can be reached in roughly one hour on foot from the Taubenstein cable car station at lower elevation. An alternative, longer route begins from the parking area near Spitzingsee church for those starting directly from the valley.
The hut sits directly on a popular ski route and is regularly visited by skiers seeking warmth and rest during winter outings. This dual role as both a hiking shelter and a winter sports stop adds to its importance in the regional mountain landscape.
