Almbachklamm Entrance and Marble Ball Mill

Highlight • Gorge

Almbachklamm - access... Really great hike! You can park for free at the "Kugelmühle" and then start there. You pay admission, €6 normal, €5 with a spa card, but it's definitely worth it. The path is easy to walk and you can see a lot of nature. There is also a loop trail so you don't have to come back the same way.

Almbachklamm

Highlight • Gorge

The hike through the Almbachklamm leads you over walkways and bridges: 29 bridges and walkways, 320 steps, and a tunnel blasted into the rock make the path through the deep gorge of the Almbach stream accessible. At your feet, the crystal-clear mountain stream rushes down into the valley. As a rule, the Almbachklamm is open from the beginning of May to the end of October, but opening hours may change due to weather conditions. Meltwater in spring or summer storms can also cause short-term closures.

Low Tunnel in Almbach Gorge

Highlight • Structure

Hewn through the rock in just 4 weeks in 1894 by 250 men of the 1st Ingolstadt Engineer Battalion. Very low and ducking your head is recommended! 😊

Sulzer Waterfall in the Almbach Gorge

Highlight • Waterfall

The Sulzer Wasserfall is a waterfall of the Sulzbach, which flows into the Almbach on the left side on the Untersberg in the Berchtesgaden Alps. With a drop of 114 meters, it is the eleventh highest waterfall in Germany. The Sulzer waterfall was created by backward erosion of the Almbach in the Ramsau Dolomites on the southern flank of the Untersberg. It falls into the Almbachklamm in a total of five cascades. The Sulzbach flows with its waterfall into the Almbach at this point. The Sulzer waterfall is largely devoid of vegetation.

Untersberg Marble Ball Mill

Highlight • Monument

Here is the last, still in operation marble ball mill in Germany. It is explained very informatively, how marble marbles are created with the power of water:

First, the marble tresses are collected and carved. Then the cubic marble pieces come into the ball mill.

This special construction consists of the lower, fixed grindstone (hard sandstone from the Obersalzberg) and the upper turntable (made of beech wood), on which the waterwheel (made of larch wood) is tapped.

The grinding time is 2-8 days, depending on the size. Then the balls have to be polished and polished before you can buy them as an original and valuable souvenir for the ones who stayed at home or as a souvenir of beautiful days in the Berchtesgadener Land at the kiosk.

Tip: In the associated inn there are fantastic giant puffs
