You have to see it once, but once is enough. It's crazy what crowds of people are brought up there on buses. 😱
Otherwise, of course, a great view of the Alps, especially the Watzmann and the Königssee 🤩

View of Lake Königssee

Highlight • Viewpoint

When we arrived at the Kehlsteinhaus, there were unfortunately still clouds over the valley. After a break and a bit of walking around to the summit cross and the actual summit, which is higher up, the clouds fortunately cleared and we were able to see the Königssee from above. Very beautiful :)

We needed plan “C” for today 😄. Plan "A" was the Steintalhörndl, which I discarded in the morning due to the rain 🌧️ of the last few days and overnight, as the climb is already quite difficult in summer. What then 🤔, plan “B” of the Hohe Göll has been on the list for a long time then the Hohe …

Today we visited the Obersalzberg documentation centre. The new exhibition is really well done and the guided tour, which lasted almost 2 hours, was great. I can only recommend it to everyone.
Then we hiked up to the Kehlsteinhaus. Beautiful with good views. But it was a complete rip-off. €12 for a fridge magnet and a bus ride into the …

Once up to the Kehlstein 💪
From Roßfeld Panoramastrasse (9Euro toll) you should drive to the end. Definitely worth it 👍
To the Kehlsteinhaus you go up via the Kehlstein Steig. Is definitely more spectacular and much more exciting to hike. Solid shoes!
Once at the top, go through the tunnel and take the elevator up.
Arriving at the Kehlsteinhaus, …
