    Beautiful path to Staufen, sometimes you need both hands to climb.

    The Stone Hunter is a striking rock formation on the Hochstaufen, whose distinctive shape resembles a figure with a rifle – hence its name. Located on the path between the Padinger Alm and the summit, it is a popular vantage point with magnificent views of the Lattengebirge mountains and Bad Reichenhall. Numerous myths and legends surround the Stone Hunter, telling of a petrified hunter who was struck by lightning and turned to stone as punishment for his wickedness. Today, the rock is a well-known stopover for hikers and a popular photo opportunity on the way to the Hochstaufen.
