If the weather forecasters play along... don't just look up... take a look back now and then...: that's something

You have to see it once, but once is enough. It's crazy what crowds of people are brought up there on buses. 😱
Otherwise, of course, a great view of the Alps, especially the Watzmann and the Königssee 🤩

When we arrived at the Kehlsteinhaus, there were unfortunately still clouds over the valley. After a break and a bit of walking around to the summit cross and the actual summit, which is higher up, the clouds fortunately cleared and we were able to see the Königssee from above. Very beautiful :)
