2nd Day: Schoenau/Koenigsee – Weißbach, „National Park Berchtesgaden“
Relaxed walking tour past Lake Hintersee penetrating deep into National Park Berchtesgaden. Impressive scenery along the way. To the right the summits of Reiter Alpe and to the left mighty Hochkalterer. Cross alpine pastures and pass the border at Hirschbichl, then down through white water gorge Seisenbergklamm into Saalach valley. Walking time: approx. 5.5 hrs.
3rd Day: Weißbach – Lofer, „Gorges and Pilgrim paths“
Follow the Saalachtal valley to Lamprechts cave (longest passage cave of Europe) and continue to Vorderkaser gorge where you find a natural swimming pool. St. Martin with pilgrim church „Maria Kirchtal“ is the objective of today. Walk up to the church in an idyllic branch valley on the walls of Loferer Steinberge. Walking time: approx. 4.5 hrs.
4th Day: Lofer – Reit i. Winkl, „Loferer Alm“
Take the cable car up to Loferer Alm, where a high altitude path to Steinplatte massif starts. Walk across alpine pastures and a lovely mountain forest to Loferer Steinplatte. The idyllic alpine pasture Winkelmoos Alm is ideal stop for a Bavarian „Brotzeit“. Well sustained you take the coach to Reit im Winkl. Walking time: approx. 5.5 hrs.
5th Day: Rest day in Reit im Winkl
Enjoy a tranquil day in well known holiday resort Reit im Winkl. Tipp for a walking tour: A classic mountain tour starts in Reit im Winkl up to Fellhorn. The name hints to the fact that the wide summit is free of wood and covered by a “field” of meadows and alpine roses.
6th Day: Reit i. Winkl – Marquartstein, „Alpine pastures“
The „Eye of Lake Chiemsee“ is the poetic name of Lake Taubensee. This is easily understood when you see this idyllic mountain lake, nestling in a little basin of Rauhe Nadel on 1.138 m. This sight is a reward for an ample walk from alpine pasture to alpine pasture. Walking time: approx. 5.5 hrs.
7th Day: Marquartstein – Aschau/Chiemsee, „Kampenwand“
Walk through mountain forests up to the alpine pastures on Hochplatte and then to Kampenwand with views over the Lake Chiemsee. Continue on a trail from cabin to cabin along Kampenwand. The summit can be managed easily by anybody who has sure footedness. Downhill by cable car. Walking time: approx. 5 hrs.
8th Day: Individual journey home or extra days
