The Rotwand is not only geologically and mountaineeringly significant, but also historically interesting – during the First World War, the front line between Austria and Italy ran here. Former positions, tunnels, and relics from this period are still visible in the surrounding area.

Hikers and mountaineers can reach the Rotwand via various routes, including classic climbing tours and crossings from the Kreuzberg Pass or via the Fischleintal Valley. The surrounding alpine pastures, such as the Rotwand meadows, are easily accessible via the Rotwand cable car and offer impressive views of the Dolomites. Also particularly popular are the circular route via the Burgstall and the Rotwand via ferrata, which offers secured passages against a breathtaking rocky backdrop.

In light / moderate rain the scree field is difficult to cross, as the water comes down from the mountains. The field then becomes a traveling stream. The connection to the path on the other side was very difficult to recognize. However, one can orient oneself a bit at the stone turrets, if one has crossed the descending water before.
Unfortunately we did not see so much through the clouds. Otherwise, a really nice and interesting way.
