Berchtesgaden in south-eastern Bavaria was a popular excursion destination for the Bavarian kings, not least because of the Königssee with its crystal-clear water in Germany's only Alpine National Park. In the 12th edition of the Berchtesgadener Land Hiking Festival, our classics - Watzmann alpine (2,600 meters in altitude) and Watzmann extreme (3,230 meters in altitude) - are again an integral part, but with a new route. The 12-hour hike to the Watzmann is also an integral part of the festival.
12h mountain experience Watzmann
The tour starts in the Kurgarten in Berchtesgaden and initially leads towards Hammerstiel. From there it goes on to the Kühroint-Alm at 1,406 meters, where the hikers are strengthened with a snack. Then it continues up the Falzsteig in hairpin bends to the highest point of the hike, the Watzmannhaus (1,930 m) in the Berchtesgaden National Park. The hikers are rewarded with a panoramic view of the jewels of the Berchtesgadener Land and the Steinernes Meer. After the lunch break, the first part of the descent is to be completed on the ascent route, before the path branches off in the shade of the trees to the Stubenalm. The route leads back to Berchtesgaden via the Engedey and along the Ramsauer Ache.
