They are widely known in German as the Rofangebirge, although the actual Rofan (also Sonnwendgebirge) is only the western part of the area between the Brandenberger Ache stream and the Achensee lake.
Need on saksa keeles laialdaselt tuntud kui Rofangebirge, kuigi tegelik Rofan (ka Sonnwendgebirge) on ainult Brandenberger Ache ja Achensee vahelise piirkonna lääneosa.
