The waterfall is on the way from St. Bartolomä in the direction of Saugasse or Funtensee/Kärlingerhaus. The path there is initially flat over the Eisgraben, then later quite steep through the forest. Technically not a big challenge, but the path is still quite steep in parts.

Obersee (Upper Lake)

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The path from the Saletalm to the Fischunkelalm leads along the banks of the Obersee, in places the path is narrow and steep. The hiking trail is also secured by a railing (ropes) on the rock face on the banks of the Obersee.
The Obersee

Separated from the Königssee by a moraine wall since a landslide in 1172, the Obersee is the little brother of the Königsee. From the Fischunkelalm the ascent to the Röth or to the Wasseralm is possible; This makes it a popular starting point for mountain tours into the Steinerne Meer.
Fischunkelalm & Röthbachfall
The Fischunkelalm is a managed alpine hut on the southeastern bank of the Obersee. Above the Fischunkelalm is the Röthbachfall, the highest waterfall in Germany. In the summer months, the Alm is managed and a popular place to stop for refreshments.

Boathouse on the south shore of the Obersee

Highlight • Structure

In Obersee are numerous fish species, including especially Arctic char and lake trout. With luck, they can be observed.

Obersee (Berchtesgaden National Park)

Highlight • Lake

First, from Salet, we walked along the shore to the Fischunkelalm. There, they served fresh buttermilk and cheese bread (highly recommended!)

Obersee (Berchtesgaden National Park)

Highlight • Lake

You are certainly not alone on this hike, but it is still worth it because the reflections of the mountains in the lake are something very special!
