Day 2: National Park Berchtesgaden (Lake Konigssee – Weißbach)
Comfortable walk past Lake Hintersee deep into the heart of the National Park. Scenic views as you walk, with ragged peaks of Reiter Alpe to the right and Hochkalterer Mountain on the left. On alpine pastures past the customs in Hirschbichl you walk down through gorge Seisenbergklamm into Saalach river valley.
Day 3: Gorges and Pilgrims (Weißbach – Lofer)
You walk in Saalach river valley to cave-system Lamprechtshöhle (longest water-coursed cave of Europe) and Vorderkaserklamm, with natural swimming pool. Continue the walk to St. Martin, where you can climb up to the pilgrim’s church “Maria im Kirchental”. The pilgrim’s church nestles in an idyllic side valley in the steep walls of Loferer Steinberge.
Day 4: High-level walk on alpine pasture Loferer Alm to famous alpine pasture Winkelmoos Alm
A cable car gets you up to the alpine pasture Loferer Alm, where the high level path to Steinplatte starts. Today you can tackle the first summit. You walk across alpine pastures and lovely solitary mountain forests to the summit of Steinplatte. Walk down to Winkelmoos Alm, a large alpine pasture, and take the bus to Reit im Winkl.
Day 5: Rest day in Reit im Winkl
Enjoy a rest day in well-known resort Reit im Winkl.
Walking tip: One classic mountain tour, starting in Reit im Winkl is the summit of Fellhorn. The name already hints to the ridge being free of forest and that it is covered by a “field” of meadows and alpine-roses.
Day 6: "The Eye of Chiemgau“
a poetic name for Lake Taubensee. Once you have seen this idyllic mountain lake, filling a hollow in 1.138 m on the mountain Rauhe Ndel, you can understand the raptures of the name-giver. Anyhow the day is quite long, leading from alpine pasture to alpine pasture.
Day 7: Kampenwand Wall in Chiemgau Alps
Up you hike through mountain forest to the alpine pastures of Hochplatte and Kampenwand. Enjoy stunning views on Lake Chiemsee. Follow the hiking path from alpine cabin to alpine cabin along the walls of Kampenwand. If you are sure-footed you can tackle the summit. Downhill you take the comfortable cable car.
Day 8: Journey home or return to Lake Konigssee
We recommend to do this tour for children from 12 years on if they already have a basical fitness.

From Lake Konigssee to Lake Chiemsee
Nestling on the border between Salzburg, Tyrol and Bavaria are the Chiemgau Alps with soft mountains, large alpine pastures and famous holiday places. Scenic views to the ragged summits of the Alps contrasted by green rolling pastures of the foothills of the Alps are part of the charm of this hiking tour. Some of the most beautiful places certainly are mystique lake Konigssee at the beginning and the Bavarian Sea, Lake Chiemsee at the end of the trip.Dates
