Roßstein and Buchstein are a double peak in the Tegernsee mountains in the south of the Bergstock between the Isar valley and the Weißach valley. They can be reached via the Schwarze Tenn valley from Bad Wiessee or from the Weißach valley west of Wildbad Kreuth . The Tegernseer Hütte is located in the saddle between the two peaks at an altitude of 1650 m .

A simple path called the “Altweibersteig” leads to the saddle and hut from the north; From the south, the mountain can either be bypassed in the west and then the path in the north can be used, or from the so-called snack rock you can walk a not easy climb through rocky terrain to the hut, secured with wire ropes in the upper section.

From the saddle it is possible to climb the 1698 m high Roßstein over a simple rugged ridge. The ascent of the 1701 m high Buchstein from the saddle, on the other hand, requires a short and slimmed-down climb of a good 30 meters through a channel ( UIAA II ). With the Sonnenplatte, the south side of the Buchein offers numerous climbing routes of various degrees of difficulty, including the Via Weißbier in difficulty level VII, the exit of which leads directly to the terrace of the hut. The free-standing Roßsteinnadel with a height of around 35 m can be climbed with routes of various degrees of difficulty (UIAA III-VIII).
