!!!Rote Wand

Rote Wand Peak, Vorarlberg, 2,704 m, is the highest peak in 
Vorarlberg. Its name (literally: red wall) comes from the red Lias 
limestone from the Jurassic period. It towers over the Grosses 
Walsertal valley to the north, the upper Lechtal valley to the west 
and Lake Formarin to the south. The Freiburger mountain refuge is 
located on the Rote Wand Peak at 1,918 m; on the north side of the 
peak there is a small glacier. The first person to reach the summit 
was D. Pappus in 1610.
