    The crossing at the Hirschbichl Pass, which by the way is not exactly at the inn, has been known since the 13th century. At that time it was one of the many mule tracks that criss-crossed the Alps. The historic salt trade route led from Berchtesgaden to Pinzgau in Austria via the Hirschbichl. In the course of history, the pass was expanded and fortified militarily. The first license to serve mules and travelers already existed in 1738. In 1805 the guard house was converted into an inn, and it still stands today. The road for the hiking bus ends at the border at Gasthof Hirschbichl.
