Itinerary
Bavarian Salzburg alpine pasture trail - “From the Lake Königssee to the alpine pasture of mount Hochkönig”
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”.
Characteristic: Demanding walking days with tours of 3 to 6 hours to walk. You are crossing from valley to valley by using former salt trail or walking over beautiful alpine pastures. Your trails are running close to the edge of the mountain walls and you will have spectacular views. You will walk in low alpine area and a good fitness and equipment is expected.
There are public busses (going around the mountains) and you may use them to go to the next hotel (rainy days)
