The magic of the Rotwand: A mountain paradise on Spitzingsee

The mountains are calling! And for many, that means embarking on a hike that not only invigorates the body, but also the soul. One such hike is the tour to the Rotwand, which begins at the picturesque Spitzingsee.

An idyllic start at Spitzingsee

The Spitzingsee, one of the largest mountain lakes in Bavaria, is surrounded by lush meadows and offers a particularly idyllic picture, especially in summer. From here the hike to the Rotwand begins, one of the most popular tours in the region. The path leads up below the Taubensteinbahn, through an enchanted forest where everything is buzzing and humming.

The beauty of the mountain landscape

The higher you climb, the more impressive the view of the surrounding mountains becomes. Lush meadows, blooming mountain flowers and peacefully grazing cows characterize the picture. The well-signposted path leads steadily uphill, past the Taubensteinbahn and further towards Rotwand. Finally you reach the saddle, from where you have a breathtaking view of the Rotwand summit and the Rotwandhaus.

The summit is calling

The climb to the summit cross of the Rotwand is a special highlight of the tour. With a height of 1884 meters, the summit offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains such as Hochmiesing, Auerspitz, Aiplspitz and many more. After a short rest and enjoying the view, we go down to the Rotwandhaus.

Way back through the mountains

The way back offers equally impressive landscapes. The path leads past lush meadows, blooming mountain flowers and peacefully grazing cows back to Spitzingsee. A special highlight on the way back is the Schönfeldhütte, embedded in the Schliersee mountains and surrounded by a carpet of flowers.
