Rauhkopf, Mountain peak in Bavarian Alps, Germany.

Rauhkopf is a mountain summit in the Bavarian Alps with steep slopes and rocky terrain throughout. The peak stands as part of a ridge system that connects to several neighboring summits in the region.

The peak became known to mountaineers during the early days of alpine tourism in the 1800s. Since then, it has served as a regular destination for climbers exploring the local mountain ranges.

The Rauhkopf lies in the Schlierseer Berge, part of the Mangfallgebirge in the Bavarian Prealps. Its name combines the German words 'rauh' (rough) and 'Kopf' (head), a common naming pattern for summits in the region. The peak is a destination for simple mountain hikes, often combined with a ride on the Taubensteinbahn cable car.

Rauhkopf is reached either from Spitzingsee or in about 30 minutes from the top station of the Taubensteinbahn cable car. The route is rated a simple mountain hike, so no climbing equipment is needed.

The summit connects to several neighboring peaks through a marked trail system that allows hikers to visit multiple tops in a single outing. A mountain lodge nearby serves as a welcome rest point for those exploring the connected ridge.
