The glass wall is a mountain ridge belonging to the Benediktenwandgruppe in the Bavarian Prealps . In contrast to the well-known eastern neighbor, the Benediktenwand , the glass wall is a seldom visited and only accessible summit. The municipal boundary between Jachenau in the south and Benediktbeuern in the north runs over the ridge of the glass wall ; on the western secondary summit 1439 m above sea level. NHN also the triple point to the municipality boundary to Kochel am See .
topography
The ridge of the glass wall stretches from west to east and is separated from the Benediktenwand by the glass wall notch. The south side drops steeply, but wooded, until it turns into a ridge with a gentler slope to the Achalaalm (1265 m), which separates the Staffelbach from the Glasbach . The north side drops steeply with the striking rock face to which the name refers. All approaches are pathless via the southern flank or the ridge.
etymology
The name glass wall is derived from "Nikolauswand". The St. Nicholas is the patron of the church of St. Nicholas in Jachenau. In Jachenau parlance, Nikolaus is the "cloister". Thus, the Nikolauswand became the Kloaswand, which was conjured up in the first recordings around 1810 in "Glaswand" and at the same time alternatively called "Aerzwand".
