The Steinerne Meer belongs to the Berchtesgaden Alps and is the largest of these nine mountain ranges. Depending on where you look at the mountains, it looks like a sea turned to stone with surging (stone) waves - hence the name. Big, powerful and beautiful, it is a fantastic sight no matter where you look at it.

The Steinerne Meer is an impressive high karst plateau between the Watzmann massif, Königssee, Hagengebirge, Hochkönigstock and Hochkaltermassiv. The largest mountain range in the Berchtesgaden Alps looks like a sea turned to stone with surging, stone waves - hence the name Steinernens Meer.
The Steinerne Meer is a popular destination for experienced mountain hikers. Many huts and marked paths make the Steinerne Meer an ideal area for multi-day hut tours.
