    The Mittagsscharte is a ridge (comb) in the Untersberggebirge.
    location

    It is located between the Salzburg Hochthron (1 853 m above sea level) in the north and the Raucheck (1 891 m above sea level) in the south at an altitude of 1 671 m above sea level. A. directly on the border between Austria and Germany.
    particularity

    The Alpine shaman Rainer Limpöck describes in his books Myth Untersberg and High and Holy - encounters of people and spirits on Untersberg some phenomena that are scientifically so unexplained. This is how Limpöck thinks this is the ... place where "Middle-earth" begins, where the giant devil with his divine powers has shaped, where healing happens, where the sun shines into the underworld, where heaven and earth connect. ,

      In the middle of the Mittagsscharte exists a cave called "Steinerner Kaser", in which at 14 o'clock on the 15th of August and on the 21st of June a light phenomenon can be observed.

        Always wear sturdy shoes! The path is impassable and requires surefootedness. It might help some people to have sticks with them.

          Crossing the Untersberg from the Berchtesgadener to the Salzburger Hochthron is one of the most beautiful tours in the Berchtesgaden Alps. The varied path leads over the extensive high plateau with its huge sinkholes - an extraordinary landscape that is second to none.
