Schlafende Hexe

The Rotofen mountain rises to 1460 meters with three distinct peaks forming a natural formation in the eastern Lattengebirge range of Bavaria.

The mountain received its name from the yellow-red rock formations and cavernous erosion patterns that developed over millions of years in the Berchtesgaden region.

Local stories tell of a solitary witch who lived in these mountains and attempted to prevent Christian missionaries from spreading their religious message.

Hikers can access the mountain through marked trails from Winkl or Hallthurm, with the complete trek requiring approximately four hours of walking time.

When viewed from the valley, the mountain profile creates a natural silhouette resembling a reclining woman, with distinct features marking the chin and nose.
