Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're lucky and it's quiet and there aren't many hikers around that day, you can see marmots. Time flies very quickly when you're watching these cute little animals. Especially …

Gotzenalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It's just wonderful here. There is also a good snack and the view from the high crockery is just great, even when the weather is not that tingling.

Great views and nice tour on the first afternoon. With a view of the Königssee, Steinerne Meer, the Watzmann, the clouds had cleared towards evening and the sleeping witch in the evening mood.

Tour with the Heimatfreunde Kirchehrenbach to the Gotzenalm

After spending the night on the Gotzenalm, where the night's sleep was rudely broken by a wrongly set alarm clock shortly before 5 am, we went to the Feuerpalfen after breakfast. The view from this 1000m high cliff on the Königssee with St. Bartholomä and the Watzmann Group is fantastic.

You need good footwear "hiking boots", stamina and strength in the legs (it is often and for a long time, sometimes steeply uphill). For this you will be rewarded with a great view every now and then.

September 13, 2021,Von Kessel nach Götzalm/Aussicht Feuerpalfen, Rück nach Königssee

I've actually been planning to do this route for ages, this year it should finally be time with the first ship from Königssee, I drive to the required stop at Kessel (make sure to tell the captain that you want to get off there) and first hike up in serpentines through the forest to the Gotzentalalm. It's so nice because …

June 1, 2022,Berchtesgaden- Ab Kessel zur Gotzenalm/Feuerpalfen und zurück zum Königsee

The Kesselsteig itself is not spectacular, but the view of the Watzmannstock is very nice. The ascent to the Gotzenalm seems long and steep, but the view there was worth it as well as the food and drink. Many eBikers are out there. My pure walking time 5 hours 46 minutes.

Start in the morning from the Hinterbrand car park, super exhausting, but very worthwhile. Kaiserschmarren😋, 🍺 and a great view of the Königsee and the Watzmann east face.

What an incredibly beautiful hike, I was absolutely thrilled.
The view was breathtaking, actually, I can only rave about it.
The rest at the alpine pasture, far away from everyday life and the hustle and bustle, was simply indescribably beautiful.
And always when things are at their best, we head home again.
Have a lovely evening.
