Rotofen Towers in the Latten Mountains, also known as the Sleeping Witch

Highlight • Natural Monument

In the north-eastern part of the Lattengebirge, the striking Rotofen towers rise out of the forest and form a rugged contrast to the otherwise rather lovely landscape of the Lattengebirge. The three rotary kiln towers form a silhouette reminiscent of a woman lying on her back. This is how the Rotofen got its nickname Sleeping Witch. The witch with her distinctive nose and bosom can be seen both from Bischofswiesen in the south-east and from Bayerisch Gmain in the Reichenhall Basin in the north-west.
