Hiking

In the north-eastern part of the Lattengebirge, the striking Rotofen towers rise out of the forest and form a stark contrast to the otherwise rather lovely landscape of the Lattengebirge. The three Rotofen towers form a silhouette that is reminiscent of a woman lying on her back. This is how the Rotofen got its nickname, the Sleeping Witch. The witch with her distinctive nose and breasts can be seen from Bischofswiesen in the southeast as well as from Bayerisch Gmain in the Reichenhall Basin in the northwest.
