As a redhead is called three inconspicuous summit ridge between Schneck the south and the run Eck to the north. The three peaks are 2188 m (north peak), 2194 m (central peak) and 2183.4 m (south peak) high.
Ascent
There is no marked path leading to the Rotkopf. It can be reached from the Laufbacher Eck saddle, but requires absolute surefootedness and a head for heights. The transition from the central summit to the south summit takes place over a narrow, rugged rock ridge that can only be climbed in the Reitsitz.
botany
The botany of the Rotkopf is as diverse as that of Höfats or Schneck.
