Rothenbachkopf, Mountain summit in Vosges, France.
The Rothenbachkopf reaches 1,315 meters in elevation and features multiple hiking trails that cross its peak in the High Vosges mountain range.
In December 1965, two German hikers lost their lives near the summit during severe weather conditions, leading to the placement of a memorial cross.
The mountain forms part of the Route des Crêtes, a mountain road network constructed by French military forces through the Vosges mountains.
Visitors can access the summit through marked trails maintained by the Vosges Club, with the nearest mountain shelter located at Refuge du Rainkopf.
The mountain ranks sixth highest in the Grand Est region and serves as a natural border marker where Alsace meets Lorraine.
