If the weather forecasters play along... don't just look up... take a look back now and then...: that's something

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 :)

May 26, 2026,auf den Kehlstein vom Ofnerboden aus

The Kehlsteinhaus had been on our list for a long time, but we wanted to hike up. Instead of starting from Obersalzberg, we chose the path from Ofnerboden, which saved about 200m of ascent and descent and included the beautiful drive up the panoramic road. The parking lot at Ofnerboden is free (2026). Unfortunately, the entire path was gravel and …

Today a hike from the Ofenerboden to the Kehlsteinhaus. Ofenerboden is located on the Roßfeld-Panoramastraße, pretty much at the beginning (from the direction of Obersalzberg). After the hike we finished the road. Also takes a while because of the many views that should be seen.

With the car over the Roßfeld panoramic road (toll-free with the Chiemgau card at the north station), up to 1600m with fantastic views
& also learn that from the Ofnerboden car park, a footpath goes up to the Kehlstein
And it goes steeply up 😬 over many serpentines
When I got to the viewing platform, I preferred to take the …

July 18, 2024,Bayern - BGL - Kehlsteinhaus

The historic Kehlsteinhaus is of course on every to-do list for a holiday in Berchtesgadener Land.
The house itself is actually nothing special. It looks more like a normal alpine hut. It's just the story behind it that makes the whole thing so special. But there is enough to read about that, so I can save myself the trouble of …

September 9, 2024,Wanderung zum Kehlsteinhaus

A beautiful rainy morning, what could be better than using one to choose the Kehlsteinhaus as the highlight of the day... otherwise, when the weather is perfect, thousands of people like to take a bus to the tunnel to the lift up to the Eagles Nest... when it's raining, you still have the chance to call a patch of earth …

September 6, 2023,Rossfeld Panorama Straße zum Kehlsteinhaus ⛰️🌄

And up we went up the historic mountain ⛰️ The starting point was the Rossfeld Panorama Street...warm up along a beautiful, wide forest path and then off onto a steep root path...the Kehlsteinhaus always in view 🏠...easy to walk but your feet should be under control...good shoes absolutely necessary...
Arrived at the bus turning point, a short breather with an …

August 23, 2022,Wanderung Kehlsteinhaus über den Kehlriedlsteig

Great hike, but there were a lot of people on the climb...
Descent via the Kehlriedlsteig only for experienced hikers who are sure-footed, have a head for heights and are not afraid of heights...
..with proper footwear
Great...😊
