Tour to the Obersee – Barrierefrei hiking trail

From the boat dock in Salet am Königssee, a level footpath leads past the Salet-Alm restaurant directly to the western shore of Lake Obersee. From there, you'll enjoy a stunning view of the lake and the mountain backdrop beyond. The large boulders along the path between Lake Königssee and Lake Obersee originate from a rockfall in 1172.
From Lake Obersee, you can continue hiking to the Fischunkelalm on the opposite shore. This path is no longer accessible from Lake Obersee (rock steps).
The walking time is approximately 1 hour (depending on the number of people).

The difficulty ratings on the trail signs correspond to the trail categories of the DAV (German Alpine Association). This tour is marked in yellow and is therefore considered barrier-free. The trails are wide, have little or no incline, and there is no danger of falling.
