The medieval castle high above Bad Reichenhall was built around 1218. Gruttenstein Castle has served as a barracks, bulwark, accommodation for salt workers and the administrative headquarters of the Salzmaier. The facility has been privately owned since 2002. But every year there is an Easter market, a wine festival and an Advent market.

Hiking

Gruttenstein Castle was built in the early Middle Ages to protect the old salt works, Bad Reichenhall.
In addition, there is a nice view of the Predigtstuhl and the city.

Hiking

Gruttstein Castle is on the way from Bad Reichenhall to Bayerisch Gmain. You can reach them from Bad Reichenhall via various routes. Below is a small parking lot where you can stop by car. It is surrounded by beautiful meadows and you have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. Definitely worth a walk, no matter where you come from.
