It is located between the Salzburger 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. right on the border between Austria and Germany. 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.

Nice but strenuous way to get there

Here a rest is appropriate because of the view.

The climbs from Winkl and Hallthurm converge at the Gatterl. Just below the Gatterl, the Rosslandersteig, leading over from the Scheibenkaser, joins.

At the southern end of the Mittagsscharte, a few meters north of the crossroads, directly below the "Steinerner Kaser" stone hut (currently leased from the State Speleology Association in Salzburg) is the entrance to the cave of the same name. The Salzburg ethnographer and historian Franz Valentin Zillner writes about this: ...(The) Mittagsscharte, from which one enters the large cave, the Steinernen Kaser, through which all legends say the entrance to the interior of the mountain is located.. .

The border between Bavaria and the Salzburger Land runs through the Mittagsscharte.

At the southern end of the Mittagsscharte, a few meters north of the crossroads, the entrance to the cave of the same name is located directly below the stone hut "Steinerner Kaser" (currently leased from the Landesverein für Speleology in Salzburg).

The Falkenstein forms a small, isolated mountain range stretching north-northeast. It stretches over 1.9 kilometers but is only 1 kilometer wide. To the north is the 785 meter high Söldenberg. The Falkenstein range has two peaks - a 1092 meter high pre-summit with a summit cross in the north (north peak) and the actual 1181 meter high main peak at the southern end of the range. Orographically, the southwest side of the Falkenstein range is separated from the Kienbergl (1135 m) in the west by a rather narrow valley. A small stream flows through this valley, ending in the Zwingsee at the western foot of the mountain, and it is also crossed by the German Alpine Road (B 305). The east side of the Falkenstein forms the wide valley, which separates it from Scharnkopf (1356 m) and Gruberhörndl (1493 m). The Falkenseebach flows through the Weittal into the Falkensee and then further north in the direction of Inzell. The Falkenseebach rises in several springs at the southern end of the wide valley west below the Great Tower (1120 m). Just under 900 meters southwest of the main summit, the so-called Weißbach waterhole also flows out of the so-called water hole at the end of the Weittal, which, however, continues south past Scharmann in the direction of the Weißbach glacier garden. The watershed between the catchment area of the Rote Traun and the Saalach runs between these two source areas. At the northeast end of the Falkenstein below the Söldenberg is the Krottensee, whose small outflow flows into the Falkenseebach on the left. (Wikipedia)
