    The Watzmann is also known as the guardian of clear, fresh drinking water. It is the symbol of the Berchtesgaden National Park.
    What many people probably don't know is that the Watzmann once formed a vault with the Hochkalter, which was eroded and reshaped by the glaciers of the "Würm Ice Age" - over the millennia the Wimbach Valley was created.

    After leaving the east wall, the south summit beckons. Depending on your condition and weather, you can descend via Wimbachgries into the valley or cross over in the opposite direction via Mittelspitze, Hocheck and Watzmannhaus. Fantastic tour!
