Salzburger Weg to Purtschellerhaus

Highlight • Trail

Both the Salzburg Way and the German Way are super, super strenuous, but worth it. German Way up, Salzburg Way down - that would be my tip.

Lahnfeldbründl Water Trough and Benches

Highlight • Rest Area

A short break on the ascent, a bench and a small water trough invite you to linger. The view is not bad either.

Purtschellerhaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Beautiful house with a great view of the state border. You can choose whether you want to enjoy your summit beer in Bavaria or Austria. 😃

Hans Bench With Panoramic View

Highlight • Viewpoint

If it rains, avoid the wooden steps (German Way) (they are quite slippery when wet) and take the other ascent route (the Austrian Way)

Wooden Staircase to Purtschellerhaus

Highlight • Structure

A small part of the path to the Purtscheller house. There are about 580 steps. These lead across a muddy cow pasture, so the shoes stay clean and dry.

May 15, 2022,Frühlingstour zum Purtschellerhaus

Up to the Purtschellerhaus from the Ahornkaser car park on the Rossfeld Panoramastrasse in glorious weather and summer temperatures. Ascent via the Österreichweg with fantastic views of the valley and the mountains. Crossing a large snow field and parts of the path that were buried caused a bit of a thrill, but it was all doable. A few larger pieces …

A short introductory tour at the start of our holiday in Schönau am Königsee. After 7 hours on the motorway, even the 300m elevation gain was difficult 🤣🤣

July 9, 2022,Purtschellerhaus ab Ahornkaser

This year from Ahornkaser. It's shorter, but the climb at the end is quite steep 🤪. High over the German side, then down through Austria. Great view of the ⛰ and 🍺 and Kaiserschmarren👍😃

June 14, 2024,Wanderung von der Roßfeld Panorama Straße zum Purtschellerhaus

The Roßfeld Panorama Road is a great excursion despite the €9 toll. You can always get off at hotspots and enjoy the panoramic views. In this context, the hike to the Purtschellerhaus is definitely worth it. The hut is divided into two parts. One part on the German side and one on the Austrian side. The hike via the German …
