Idyllic, mystic and singular the blue-green lake Königssee is imbedded into grand mountain scenery. The mountains are very high, but there are beautiful crosses to the next valleys. To see the sun rising over the steep rocks of the Stony Sea is really worth the effort. Alpine pastures are on the edges of the mountains and you will walk from mountain hut to mountain hut with exciting views to the alps and glaciers.

Some of you may know the city of Berchtesgaden where you find the Eagles nest and also a very interesting information centre about the time and history of “Obersalzberg – Hitlers mountain resort”.

Individual arrival at Berchtesgaden/Schönau

Wellcome and introduction of the tour in the starting hotel. Transfer to the entrance of the national park of Berchtesgaden where the tour starts. A beautiful trail leads you up to the former miners hut and on over an alpine pasture down to the Saalach valley. In between you will pass the impressing Seisenberg gorge.

Transfer to the edge of the Grass Mountain where you will start your tour up to the alpine pastures. Wonderful view to the alps and glaciers and maybe to the lake “Zellersee”. Passing mountain huts you will walk downwards to the village of Dienten.

As you like you may walk or take the public bus to the spa resort (valley) of Gastein.

One of the most beautiful alpine pasture hiking tours in Austria. Walking along the steep walls of the Hochkönig you will trek from mountain hut to mountain hut over alpine pastures. A pastoral idyll as if freshly painted for a picture book.

In the morning you will walk up to the Mitterfeldalm with a splendid view to the summit of the Hochkönig. Gently down along the old miners path to the Salzach valley, where you will see the fantastic fortress of “Hohenwerfen”. It’ s up to you to walk up the castle hill and see the bird-of-prey flight demonstrations, the collection of weapons, … Afterwards by train to Golling.

You will walk up to the peak of the Jenner with panoramic view of the whole tour. A beautiful trail leads you through the former arch bishop hunting valley to the “wall”. Steep stone walls left, right and in front of you. You may not see the trail at first but it’s going up and up to the alpine pastures and to the frontier of Austria and Germany. Again beautiful scenery and a very comfortable ride down into the valley by the cable car. When you look right, who will see the “eagles nest”.
