Valepp denotes both a mountain valley, a stream and a settlement south of the Spitzingsee in the Schlierseer Mountains , Mangfall Mountains , Bavarian Prealps . The valley belongs to the Schliersee market in the Miesbach district and partly to the Rottach-Egern municipality and is dominated by Stolzenberg and Rotwand in the north and Schinder and Hinterem Sonnwendjoch in the south.

Settlement

The name was first mentioned in 1539 as Alpe Valldep owned by the Scheyern Monastery and referred to the pasture area on today's border between Bavaria and Austria . The etymological origin is unclear. A Tyrolean Klause had been located near the Alpe since 1504 , and was replaced in the 19th century by the Archduke Johann Klause , located further south on Tyrolean territory . During the National Socialist era, prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp worked on the mountain pasture and in a nearby hunting lodge owned by Heinrich Himmler as part of the external commandos Valepp Bauer Marx and Valepp Jagdhaus Himmler .

Today the forester's lodge Valepp and the Ochsenalm are located in the area of ​​this alpine pasture, which in 1983 was the scene of a nine-hour mountain hike by Franz Josef Strauss and Helmut Kohl , which became famous because of its unintentionally long duration . The forester's house Valepp was originally built by the Bad Reichenhall saltworks office and serves as an excursion restaurant . It has been closed for extensive renovation since autumn 2016. The owner, Bayerische Staatsforsten , has no information about a reopening, all those interested in leasing have canceled.

The Valepp settlement can be reached from Rottach-Egern (Enterrottach district) via a toll road via the Wechsel , from Spitzingsee via an asphalt non-public driveway. The RVO bus route 9560 runs on both streets from mid-May to mid-October. The road ends at the forester's house Valepp .

Waters and mountain valley

Stream

The mountain valley that connects the Spitzingsee from the Wurzhütte to the Valepp settlement is also known as "the Valepp". The stream flowing through it is called Rote Valepp and is the only outflow from the Spitzingsee. The flowing water is mentioned for the first time in the years 1078-1080 in a border description of the Hochstift Freising as " Wldeppe ". To the north of the Valepp settlement, the Red River meets the White Valepp and for the remaining short stretch to the Austrian border only bears the name Valepp . Across the border it flows as Grundache in the Brandenberger Ache , in the Inn flows. Between 1919 and 1922, the Neuhauser Bockerlbahn , a railway line for transporting storm wood to the Fischhausen- Neuhaus station , ran along the Rote Valepp .
