Beautiful chapel at the Steiner Alm. The host is also great.

The Alpine Garden on the Hochstaufen is located above the Padinger Alm on the way to the summit and was created by the Bad Reichenhall Alpine Club. In this lovingly tended area, hikers can discover a variety of typical alpine plants – from delicate gentian species to alpine roses and rare mountain flowers. Information panels explain the special features of the flora and their adaptation to the harsh living conditions at high altitudes. The Alpine Garden combines nature experiences with educational opportunities and invites hikers to consciously appreciate the diversity of the mountain world before the trail leads further up into the rocky terrain of the Hochstaufen.

The Reichenhaller Haus is located directly below the summit of the Hochstaufen mountain at approximately 1,750 meters and is a popular stop for hikers and via ferrata climbers. The Alpine Club hut offers a cozy atmosphere, simple overnight accommodations, and a wonderful sun terrace with impressive views over Bad Reichenhall, the Salzach Valley, and as far as Lake Chiemsee. Due to its exposed location, the Reichenhaller Haus is only accessible on foot—either via various mountain trails or the challenging Pidinger Klettersteig (via ferrata). It serves many mountaineers as a rest stop before the final ascent to the summit or as the destination of a scenic day tour.

The Staufen Chapel stands not far from the summit of the Hochstaufen at an elevation of approximately 1,770 meters and is one of the highest chapels in the Berchtesgadener Land region. It was built in memory of mountaineers who died in mountain accidents and offers a quiet place of contemplation amidst the impressive mountain scenery. The small stone chapel blends harmoniously into the rocky landscape and is a popular destination for hikers and climbers who wish to pause for a moment at the summit of the Hochstaufen. On a clear day, a magnificent view opens up from here over the Saalach Valley to the distant peaks of the Central Alps.
