What a view of the Hochkönig massif! Especially on clear days you have a wonderful view of the highest mountain range in the Berchtesgaden Alps. At 2,941 meters it is also difficult to overlook. :) Don't forget your camera!

A shorter and easier ascent to the Alm is above the Arthurhaus car park. We did the tour via the Marmot Trail, where it then takes about 40 minutes very steeply …

Actually only a short round to say goodbye. But the incline is not without it, the reward on the alp was more than deserved. The food is particularly noteworthy. Above all, the desserts such as Kaiserschmarrn or nut sticks are a treat.
