Schliersee Mountains
Encyclopedia
The Schliersee Mountains are a part of the Mangfall Mountains
in the Bavarian Prealps
around the lakes of the Schliersee
and the Spitzingsee
. The Rotwand
, at 1,884 m, is the highest and best-known summit in the group. In summer and winter it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Bavarian Prealps. From the valley station of the Taubenstein Cable Car, the Rotwand can be climbed in just under 1½ hours and this route is thus very busy. The longer climbs e.g. from the Leitzach valley are, by contrast, quieter.
The watershed between the lakes of Schliersee
and Tegernsee
crosses the mountains and forms the municipal boundary between the parishes of Rottach-Egern
in the west and Schliersee in the east. The boundary summits from north to south as far as Valepp are:
