rotwand tour

Rotwand (medium, 12 km, 800 m altitude)

Despite a hiking time of around 6 hours and an ascent of 800 meters, the hike to the Rotwand (1884 m) is accessible even for occasional hikers. The view from the highest peak of the Bavarian Mangfall Mountains is magnificent and the hiking trail is easy to walk. Just before the summit, the Rotwand House awaits with food and cool drinks.

Details & Directions

[the_ad id=”7225″]

Rotwand Ascent

The hike here in the bavarian part of the Mangfall mountain range starts on the southern shore of Spitzingsee. Pass by the barrier adjacent to the Alten Wurzhütte and head south towards Albert-Link-Hütte .

Shortly after the barrier, the hiking trail branches off to the left and into the forest up to the Rotwand. After a clearing you’ll reach a fork in the road at a mountain rescue hut. Follow the signs here towards Rotwand. The steadily rising gravel path leads to just before the summit.

Reaching the top of the “steps” you’ll run in to the only climbing section of the route – sure-footedness here is a must.

The Rotwand is the highest peak in the Spitzingsee region. Almost all the well-known peaks in the region, including the Wendelstein, Aiplspitz or the Brecherspitz, can be admired from the summit. In good weather, the view even extends to the striking peaks of Roßstein and Buchstein at Tegernsee with the Tegernseer Hütte, to the Zugspitze as well as the glaciers of the Central Alps to the south.

The Rotwand House

We recommend planning extra time for a break at the more than 100-year-old refuge of the German Alpine Association Rotwand House. The view across to the Bavarian Alps from the large sun terrace is too good to miss and the food’s not bad either

You can expect to find various seasonal, regional and Bavarian dishes on the menu. With a Knödel and a beer on board, the final stretch to the summit of the Rotwand should take around half an hour.

Descent from the Rotwand

The descent follows the same path as the ascent. Arriving back at Spitzingsee it’s worth considering a final walk along the Spitzingsee Loop Trail .

Alternative Route

The ascent described here is the most popular and easiest route for most hikers. There are however several alternative hiking trails that leading to the Rotwand here above Spitzingsee. Our personal favourite in the longer tour via the Pfanngraben. This route is quieter and and scenically particularly worth seeing. From the summit of the Rotwand is is possible to extend the hike up the nearby Hochmiesing.

Can I climb the Rotwand in winter?

The Rotwand is a fantastic choice for a winter hike near Munich. The path is usually prepared throughout the winter and is popular both for snowshoeing and sledging.

Those arriving by car will find ample parking along the shores of Spitzingsee . For those travelling by train: Take the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) from Munich to Schliersee and change to the RVO bus towards Spitzingsee, getting off at the Spitzingsee Kirche station.

The hike up the Rotwand is one of the most popular hiking tours south of Munich for good reason. The trail is manageable even for occasional hikers, the Rotwand House offers welcome refreshments before the final ascent to the summit and the summit itself offers one of the most beautiful views of the Bavarian Pre-Alp mountains.

• Über den Taubenstein (2 ½ Stunden): Ein sehr schöner aussichtsreicher Höhenweg, der bei Seilbahnbetrieb allerdings auch gut besucht ist. Vom Rotwandhaus folgen wir dem beschilderten Pfad zum Taubenstein und zur Taubensteinbahn. Dieser leitet uns in nordöstlicher und später östlicher Richtung zum Kirchsteinsattel (1788 m) hinauf. Von dort wandern wir bergab und queren an der Westflanke des Lempersbergs vorbei. Nach einem Abstieg über steinige Wege erreichen wir den Fuß des Taubensteins. Durch eine seilgesicherte Rinne mit speckingen Felsen erreicht man in einem Abstecher von fünf Minuten den aussichtsreichen Taubenstein-Gipfel (1693 m). Für den weiteren Abstieg steigen wir in nördlicher Richtung hinunter zur Bergstation der Taubensteinbahn. Von hier kann man direkt zur Oberen Maxlraineralm hinunter wandern und trifft später wieder auf den Aufstiegsweg. Alternativ spaziert man von der Taubensteinbahn ein Stück nordwärts zum Taubensteinsattel (1592 m). Vom Sattel erreicht man nach rechts in 5 Minuten das schön gelegene Taubensteinhaus (1567 m). Für den Abstieg wendet man sich am Taubensteinsattel nach links und steigt über die ehemalige Piste des Oberen Lochgrabens (Wegweiser „Spitzingsee Ort“) zu einer Querstraße hinunter. Hier biegt man linkshaltend in den breiten Querweg ein und folgt diesem immer geradeaus zur Schwarzenkopfhütte und von dieser weiter über den Berggasthof Igler zurück zum Aufstiegsweg.
• Durch den Pfanngraben (3 ½ Stunden): Eine ruhige Variante, die bis zum Spitzingsee der Drei-Seen-Tour folgt. Vom Rotwandhaus steigt man in östlicher Richtung in die Kümpflscharte, der Einsattelung zwischen Rotwand und Auerspitz , hinunter. Dort wendet man sich nach rechts und wandert südwärts über die Kümpflalm in den Pfanngraben hinunter. Durch den Pfanngraben geht es in westlicher Richtung zur Waitzinger Alm. Über das Blecksteinhaus und die Albert-Link-Hütte wird zu guter Letzt zurück der Spitzingsee erreicht.
• Über den Miesingsattel und die Kleintiefentalalm (3 ½ Stunden): Wie bei der Variante durch den Pfanngraben steigt man vom Rotwandhaus in östlicher Richtung zur Kümpflscharte hinunter. Am Sattel wendet man sich nach links, quert an der Ostflanke der Rotwand vorbei und erreicht in einem Gegenanstieg den Miesingsattel (1704 m). Wir lassen den Hochmiesing rechts liegen und steigen zur Kleintiefentalalm (1555 m) hinunter und zum Taubensteinhaus (1567 m) hinauf. Vom Taubensteinhaus erreichen wir innerhalb von 5 Minuten in westlicher Richtung Taubensteinsattel (1592 m). Von dort geht es über die ehemalige Piste des Oberen Lochgrabens (Wegweiser „Spitzingsee Ort“) hinunter zu einem Querweg. Nun biegen wir scharf links ab und folgen dem breiten Querweg immer geradeaus zur Schwarzenkopfhütte und von dieser weiter über den Berggasthof Igler zurück zum Aufstiegsweg.

Destination

Turn-by-turn directions.

From the mountain station, an initially quite new path leads south towards Rotwandhaus. If you like, take the Taubenstein as the first summit of the day. The trail continues below the Lämpersberg and crosses over to a striking saddle with a rocky head (1802 m). From here you can already enjoy a comprehensive view of the Central Alps. The Rotwandhaus is also clearly visible.

If you want to skip the Rotwand, descend directly down the wide path to the Rotwandhaus . Aspirants to the summit cross below the rock faces in a westerly direction until the narrow path meets the path that leads up from the Rotwandhaus. The summit is reached in a few minutes. A large metal plate with an engraved panorama helps you to identify the summit. Descend to the Rotwandhaus, where you can either take your first break or turn left 50 metres before the Rotandhaus in the direction of Soinsee/Geitau.

The Kümpflschate is quickly reached. Turn left and continue downhill towards Soinsee. However, we keep sharp left and cross the Nebelwände on a somewhat narrower path and finally reach the saddle between Hochmiesing and Rotwand. You can also get here directly from the summit of the Rotwand via a steep path. From the saddle, you can also take the Hochmiesing with you if necessary (+180m).

Continue downhill to Kleintiefental-Alm, where you come to a forest road. Continue briefly downhill until an inconspicuous path branches off to the left, which leads over to the Taubensteinhaus with little loss of altitude. We recommend taking a long break there. Then head east around the hut and use a faint track to descend into the basin below the Rauhkopf. This section ends at the Krottenthaler-Alm in the basin below the Aiplspitz.

Behind the alpine pasture, briefly follow a wide path until a barely visible track heads northwards through damp meadows towards the summit of the Aiplspitz. We reach the forest and meet a clear path that first leads through the forest and then up a large meadow to the saddle between Aiplspitz and Kleinmiesing. From the saddle, head left up to the summit of the Aiplspitz.

Now with a bit of scrambling, secured in places with a rope on the ridge and at the end around the cool north side of the Tanzeck to a large meadow. Here you can take a final rest in the sun before descending directly south to the saddle below the Rauhkopf. A final ascent leads to the summit of the Rauhkopf and further down to the mountain station of the Taubenstein cable car.

Everything you need to know to hike Rotwand

March 11, 2021

One of the best things about living in Munich is the Bavarian Alps looming around the corner. The number of weekend getaways filled with hiking adventures, gorge walks and mountain lake dips that you can embark on irrespective of your level of fitness are truly endless. All you need is a few hours off your schedule for the world of adventure to come knocking on your doorstep! I n this blogpost, I spill everything you need to know to hike up Rotwand, a beautiful mountain dominating the Mangfall Ranges of the Bavarian Alps to kickstart that adventure life…

Why Rotwand?

• Public Transportation
• Car/Motorbike
• Hike to Rotwand
• The best time to visit Rotwand

Ready, Set, Go!

Rotwand is the highest peak in the Spitzingsee region and one of the easiest summits that I have ever conquered! In fact, the summit is open to hiking all through the year. Therefore, if you fancy a hike through the autumn foliage, or amidst icicles and thick white snow or even through blooming flowers and buzzing bees, this hike is the perfect bet!

Moreover, since the hike is considered as an ’easy’ mountain hike, it requires absolutely no extra equipment and can be done by people of all fitness levels. All you need is a bit of grit and lots and lots of water!

Getting to Rotwand

This hike is best done as a day trip from Munich. Therefore, this section will feature directions from Munich. If you are reading this blog from elsewhere in the world, feel free to add this hike to your Bavarian Itinerary to experience one of the best (and the easiest) views in the Bavarian Alps!

Step 1: Getting to the Starting Point of the Hike

With public transportation from munich.

Once in Munich, getting to the starting point of the hike is quite easy. The Bayerische Oberland Bahn (BOB) runs every hour from Munich to Bayrischzell. Although it runs till Bayrischzell, you need to get off at Fischhausen-Neuhaus and continue further with bus number 9562 to Spitzingsee Kirche. The entire journey takes around 90 minutes. The connection time between the train and the bus at Fischhausen-Neuhaus is around 3 – 4 minutes. While this sounds tight, it is helpful to know that the bus almost always waits for the train to arrive! More information regarding the train and bus schedules can be found here (The departure and arrival stations must be mentioned as ‘München Hbf’ and ‘Spitzingsee Kirche, Schliersee’).

Another thing to keep in mind is that although the train initially starts with three bogeys from Munich Central Station, each bogey splits at some point and heads to a different destination. In order to reach the starting point of the hike, it is important that you are in the coach that goes to Bayerischzell. In case you are in the wrong coach, before the train splits at Holzkirchen, you will be given a few minutes to get into the right coach. This can be quite stressful, so it is always better to be in the right coach and relax before your arduous climb!

By Car/ Motorbike

If you would rather drive to the starting point of the hike, put this GPS co-ordinates in your navigation device and you are good to go! The co-ordinates correspond to a paid parking lot close to the starting point of the hike. The drive time from Munich to this location is just over an hour.

Step 2: Hike to Rotwand

Trailhead : Link

Tiny yellow boards located along hiking paths usually give information regarding the difficulty of the hike. Alpine hikes in Germany and Austria are classified into three categories,

• Blue (or Easy): flat or slightly inclined terrain, no exposed sections
• Red (or Medium): mountain hiking with some steep, rocky, partially exposed sections and a considerable elevation gain
• Black (or Difficult): challenging terrain with plenty of steep rocky slopes and mostly exposed alpine terrain

I highly recommend reading my  beginner’s guide to alpine hiking  before attempting this hike!

Being quite a popular mountain, there are several hiking routes to Rotwand and all of them are easy (i.e., marked blue in the signboard’) till ‘Rotwandhaus’. The last twenty minutes of the hike is however a little hard and involves a few steep sections!

The ascent takes between two to three hours with an altitude difference of 800 metres. Depending on your fitness level, the entire hike (i.e., the ascent and the descent) takes anywhere between five to seven hours!

Optional Alternate Route: If you would rather traverse less ‘altitude’, it is probably a good idea to take the cable car to Taubenstein mountain station (Bergstation) and follow the signs to ‘Rotwand/Rotwandhaus’ (or Panoramaweg Rotwand) from there. This hike takes three to four hours. If you decide to do this hike instead, the public transportation instructions remain the same except the stop at which you have to alight. In this case, disembark at the bus stop, Spitzing Taubensteinbahn, Schliersee instead of at Spitzingsee Kirche, Schliersee and walk to the cable car station. More information regarding the cable car can be found here .

If you are a first-time hiker or are just looking for some useful tips and tricks regarding hiking equipment, feel free to glance through this blogpost for an insightful overview!

The Best Time to Visit Rotwand

Although spring and summer are the chosen seasons to hike in Germany, this mountain is an all-weather mountain. While summer hikes in this area can be topped with a swim in Spitzingsee surrounded by endless green rolling hills, a winter hike feels like a trip to Narnia! I hiked during winter without ice cleats and it was totally okay! The path is maintained all year around so hiking in winter is quite a pleasant experience.

The general costs you can encounter as a day trip from Munich is listed in this section. However, the budget would heavily depend on the kind of traveling you would like to do! All the costs listed are per person (unless otherwise  mentioned) and assumes a ‘budget’ travel style.

Transportation

If you are traveling from Munich with a group of friends, I would highly recommend purchasing the Bayern ticket! Bayern Ticket is a day ticket that lets you travel all around Bavaria in regional trains. This Ticket costs 26 EUR for one person and 8 EUR for every additional person (upto 5 people). i.e.,

• If you are traveling alone, you would pay 26 EUR
• If you are traveling with a friend, you would pay 26 + 8 = 34 EUR (for 2 people, 17 EUR per person)

The easier, alternate route involves taking the cable car up and down. The price for a round trip in Taubenstein Bahn is 20 EUR. More details can be found here .

It is a hiking tradition in Germany to end your hike with a beer at one of the mountain huts! While hiking Rotwand, the hut in question is the Rotwandhaus . Like other mountain huts, a meal with a drink of choice would cost you between 10 to 20 EUR.

Moreover, it is always a good idea to carry some snacks to munch on during the hike. If you need some insight regarding the kind of snacks to buy, the ‘smart snacks’ section of this blogpost should give you a fair idea!

Thus, to sum up, my day trip to Rotwand from Munich cost around 30 EUR !

The Mangfall Ranges is a one of the most beautiful areas in the Bavarian Alps. Rotwand, being the highest peak in this area, is defintely worth every cramp and sweat you will encounter. A quiet, quick getaway to enjoy the stunning view should definitely be on your list! 

Before you embark on your hiking adventure, I highly recommend skimming through my  mountain hiking guide for an unparalleled overview on alpine hiking . Moreover, this  blog pos t also lists all the equipment required to conquer an alpine hike.

If you are looking for another hiking experience, I cannot recommend the following hikes enough:

• Schrecksee – The highest mountain lake in the German Alps
• Archenkanzel – Hidden viewpoint over lake Königssee
• Rubihorn – A complete Allgäu Experience with postcard views
• Seealpsee – An easy beginner appropriate  hike in Switzerland  
• Olpererhütte – Austria’s best kept secret view
• Kramerspitz – The perfect day hike from Munich

From the Paolina hut, follow trail 552 almost flatly in a northerly direction until the fork to the Vaiolon Pass. Continue to the right along trail 551, which winds its way over steep gravel paths to the foot of the Rotwand wall and then through a scree gully (short, secured section) to the Vaiolon Pass (2560 m). From the hut you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Vaiolon peaks, the Tscheinerspitze and the Mugoni peak. After unpacking the via ferrata equipment, you follow the north ridge of the Rotwand along an easy, secured path, which is mostly equipped with steel ropes. Via this not particularly steep route, which offers a magnificent panorama during the ascent, you finally reach the summit of the Rotwand (2806 m). Beautiful Dolomite peak with a view of the Fassa Dolomites, but also of the Pala and Lagorai groups, the eastern Dolomites, the Cima d'Asta and the high plateau of Welschnofen. On the horizon you can see the western part of South Tyrol and the main Alpine ridge with its

Bergtour - rotwand.

Rotwand (1884 m)

Bergtour | bayerische voralpen | spitzingsee 800 hm | insg. 04:45 std. | schwierigkeit (1 von 6).

Einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Münchner Hausberge. Viel besucht, aber auch wirklich sehr schön! Alle echten Münchner Kindl müssen hier einmal oben gewesen sein, das gehört sich einfach so! Auch die Aussicht von der Rotwand ist berühmt und das zurecht! Die Anstiegsmöglichkeiten sind vielfältig - es gibt auch eine lockere Variante mit Seilbahnunterstützung - und allesamt technisch nicht schwer, allerdings teilweise etwas lang und daher für Ungeübte etwas anstrengend. Weil es mehrere Routen gibt, kann man auch eine schöne Rundtour machen. Mit dem Rotwandhaus findet man kurz unterm Gipfel eine sehr schöne Einkehrmöglichkeit.

Tourensteckbrief Rotwand

A8 München – Salzburg bis Ausfahrt Weyarn, weiter auf der B 307 über Miesbach, am Schliersee vorbei und weiter Richtung Bayrischzell, jedoch kurz hinter Neuhaus schon rechts ab zum Spitzingsee. (Route A+B) Man fährt durch den Tunnel und parkt links der Straße am sehr großen, gebührenpflichtigen Parkplatz oberhalb der Kirche. (5 Euro / Tag - Stand 2020). Wer (C) mit der Seilbahn ein Stück auffahren will, parkt bereits vor dem Tunnel, an der Talstation der Taubensteinbahn (5 Euro / Tag - Stand 2020). Navi-Adresse : D-83727 Schliersee, Spitzingstraße 4

A+B: Wurzhütte am Spitzingsee (großer, gebührenpflichtiger Parkplatz oberhalb der Kirche). Oder (C) Taubenstein Talstation (auch hier gebührenpflichtige Parkmöglichkeiten).

( A .) Die Bergstraße hinter der Wurzhütte hinein und gleich nach 30 Metern bei der Weggabelung halb-links hinauf (Wegweiser Rotwand). Kurz hinter der Bergwachthütte beginnt dann der ausgeschilderte Forstweg zur Rotwand. Eine großzügige Kehre kürzt man über einen ausgeschilderten Steig ab. Dann geht es weiter auf dem Forstweg, an der Wiederaufforstung vorbei, eine weitere Kehre und schon ist man bei der Wildfeldalm. Jetzt quert man unter der Rotwand hindurch zur Hütte, oder steigt links abzweigend steil hinauf zum Gipfel.(Dies ist die Route für Mountainbiker. Sie endet aber am Rotwandhaus). ( B .) Man bleibt noch einige Meter auf der in (A) beschriebenen Bergstraße (biegt also nicht hinter dem Bergwachthaus ab) und geht weiter bis zum Wirtshaus Untere Maxlrainer-Alm. Hier biegt man rechts ab, verfolgt den Forstweg bis zur Skipiste und steigt dann an deren linken Rand über einen Waldsteig bis zur oberen Maxlrainer Alm und weiter über die Piste bis zur Taubenstein Bergstation. Hier beginnt der sehr schöne Steig, vorbei am Taubenstein (Besteigung 15 Minuten plus) hinüber zum Rotwandhaus. Er ist erst eine Kammwanderung, dann quert man unter dem Lämpersberg und der Rotwand durch. Gipfelaspiranten zweigen ein ganzes Stück vor der Hütte links ab und steigen steil an zum Kreuz. ( C .) Man benutzt die Seilbahn zur Taubenstein Bergstation, dann weiter wie unter (B) beschrieben.

Alle hier beschriebenen Möglichkeiten eignen sich auch für den Abstieg, so dass man eigentlich immer eine schöne Rundtour machen kann.

Es gibt eine ruhige, aber etwas mühsamere Variante auf die Rotwand. Sie führt durch den sogenannten Pfanngraben. Siehe Rotwand - Pfanngraben .

Auf den hier vorgestellten Wegen ist die Rotwand durchwegs als einfache Bergwanderung einzustufen. Einzig die letzten Meter über eine Felsstufe sind etwas anspruchsvoller und erfordern ein wenig Geschick. Während die Tour mit Seilbahnhilfe auch konditionell recht leicht ist, sind beim Normalweg ohne Seilbahn immerhin 800 Hm zu bewältigen. Ansonsten: Klassischer und viel begangener Münchner Hausberg. Doch nichts kommt von ungefähr: die Aussicht ist fantastisch (Großvenediger, Großglockner, die Kitzbüheler und Hintertuxer sind zu sehen) und das Rotwandhaus gemütlich. Besonders schön: Möglichkeit (B).

Aufstieg: 2,5 bis 3 Stunden; Abstieg: 2 Stunden; Möglichkeit (A): 1,5 Stunden.

Höhendiffernz: 800 Höhenmeter

Ende Mai bis zum Wintereinbruch. Wobei die Tour bei entsprechender Schneelage auch als Winterwanderung gemacht wird. Rodelmöglichkeit ab Rotwandhaus.

Rotwandhaus des DAV, 114 Plätze, Telefon: +49/(0)8026/7683 oder +43/(0)664/1645290. Beinahe ganzjährig geöffnet, in den Übergangszeiten jedoch meist nur am Wochenende bewirtschaftet. Siehe auch  hier .

Creative Walks – The Rotwand Tour.

The Rotwand tour is one of my favourite creative walks routes. It’s a relatively easy hike that takes you through a pine forest, past a couple of Alpine cabins and you even get to see a few waterfalls. You’ll be greeted by cowbells and cattle about thirty minutes from the summit too. As with any mountain path, the weather dictates the experience and memory of the route. I’ve walked up Rotwand in the early morning summer sun, and it felt like something out of Jurassic Park. But I’ve also scampered up it in the pouring rain and fog. With the wind howling in the trees, it felt like an Autumnal “Shining” (with the Rotwandhaus appearing in the mist, a Bavarian Stanely Hotel ). The walking experience dictates the ideas, which is what makes creative walks such a unique working adventure. The visuality of the mountain, the scene it sets, the associations it forms in your mind all help to kick start the process of harvesting memories and combining them with facts, strategies and ideas.

Creative Walks on the Rotwand – Fun and easy on the legs.

At 1.884 metres above sea level, the summit is reached quickly. It’s an easy walk, even for an office potato. We’ll park safely at the church car park and have a quick look at the Spitzingsee before moving on up into the first part of the walk. It’s a tarmac road used by the forestry. After thirty minutes we’ll pass a little cabin and then turn right into the forest and make our way slowly and steadily up the gravel road to the summit. Every so often the Mangfall Mountains will appear through the trees, and we’ll reach the first of three tiny waterfalls after half an hour. We should have a whole bunch of rough thoughts, memories and ideas scribbled onto Artefact Cards by now. We’ll spread them out onto a large boulder and sort them into sets of “good, bad and ugly”.

Creative Walks – Solvitur Ambulando!

We’ll walk through the electric cattle gate and hear the ring of the cowbells. This is Alpine country. We’ll pass the cabins and rest on a rock to sort our ideas, discarding the weaker ones and working on what we think will solve your problem. Onwards. Solvitur Ambulando !

The gravel road rises, and then the Rotwandhaus appears, it’s space age wind mill whizzing manically. Your heart will skip at the thought of a cold drink and maybe some food but I’ll point upwards, left of the house, to the cross on the summit and we’ll push on. A quiet will fall over us, and we’ll concentrate on sorting our thoughts and putting one foot in front of the other.

At the summit you’ll spend five minutes alone, just taking it in: listening to the wind, the birds and the cowbells and looking at the endless sea of mountains that spread out in front of you.

The Rotwandhaus is open all year round and serves a wicked lentil stew. We’ll sit in deckchairs and spread our notes, ideas and plans on the grass in front of us and chose the idea we want to work on during our descent. And when, two hours later, we’re back down by the lake I’ll leave you for alone for a while to look at the water and ponder the answer, the idea we found up on the mountain, and you’ll realise that this was probably the best days work that you have ever had.
