High alpine hike to the legendary Untersberg with a nice alpine stopover

Showing Translation

A magnificent, physically demanding tour, mostly on climbs, a few places are a bit rougher, but never a problem for the experienced mountain hiker.
As a hiking tour, the Hochthron lives up to its name, in keeping with the 'King Watzmann', in a few places the view is sensational.
The friendliness of the Salzburgers rubs off as far as Berchtesgaden, …

A very beautiful and very pleasant path. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite on our side.

Today again to the Stöhrhaus from Hintergern and back over the Scheibenkaser and the Almbachklamm. Wonderful round with a lot of views in ideal weather.

Today we faced a long climb.
We started at the Almbachklamm Gorge, where the water roared. We continued past the Theresienklause, a bridge, to the Roßboden.
From there, the climb led through the forest to the Scheibenkaser Hut. There, we enjoyed drinks and a magnificent view.
After a longer break, we continued up the Roßlandersteig for three hours to the …

From the parking lot we start towards Ettenberg, there is a pilgrimage church there, first we go up endless …
