Schlafende Hexe, Mountain summit in Berchtesgaden Alps, Germany.

Schlafende Hexe is a mountain summit in the Berchtesgaden Alps featuring multiple peaks rising above 1460 meters. The formation sits in the eastern Lattengebirge range and offers several hiking routes through the terrain.

The name Rotofen comes from the yellow-red rock and cave-like weathering hollows, with Ofen used in the mountains for jagged, towering rock. Older maps spell it Rothofen. The peaks are named from east to west: Vorderer (1370 m), Mittlerer (1396 m) and Hinterer Rotofen (1467 m), together called the Rotofentürme.

The name Rotofen comes from the yellow-red rock and cave-like weathering, with Ofen denoting craggy, towering rock in mountain usage; older maps write Rothofen. The nickname Schlafende Hexe (Sleeping Witch) comes instead from the profile of a reclining woman seen from the valley: the Mittlerer Rotofen forms the breast, the Große Rotofenturm the nose and the Kleine Rotofenturm the chin. The Große Rotofenturm is also called Montgelas-Nase, after the size and shape of Maximilian von Montgelas's nose.

The mountain is accessible via marked trails from Winkl or Hallthurm, with the complete route taking about four hours of walking. The paths are well marked, but hikers should bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water.

When viewed from the valley, the mountain's profile creates the silhouette of a reclining woman with recognizable facial features. This natural shape is what inspired the mountain's poetic name.
