You can drive all the way around the Saalachsee. On one side there is asphalt, on the other gravel. But it's all easy to drive.

Especially in late autumn and early winter, when this side of the valley or the viewing point is in the shade, there are beautiful views of the light (sunny side).

October 19, 2024,Erste kleine Schnüffeltour in Bad Reichenhall und Umgebung

May 12, 2025,Eigentlich Rundfahrt von Bayerisch Gmain, aber...

In a good mood this morning after a good breakfast, I wanted to go on a round trip.

I started from Bayerisch Gmain and from Bad Reichenhall along the Saalach River to Saalachsee, then continued along the Saalach River to Schneizlreuth.
