Königsseer Ache

Highlight • River

Super nice bike path along the Königsseer Ache. Away from the busy road, the path leads through the forest and even if it is not asphalted, you can drive on it without any problems.

If you go up a little at the Jenner valley station you have a good view of the Watzmann. There is also a beautiful panorama at the middle station.

The Königssee lies like a fjord between steeply rising gray rock faces. The almost 2,000 meter high walls are so steep that they plunge seamlessly into the water of the …

September 12, 2025,Tour

A beautiful circular tour from the valley station on the Jenner to BGD and from there up with the historic Obersalzbergbahn cable car - from there via the Carl von Linde path to Graflhöhe, where the legendary Windbeutelbaron awaits you, further up and down to the Gasthaus Vorderbrand, where you can enjoy excellent food (closed on Thursdays!) and from there …

May 20, 2024,Berchtesgaden- Lieblingstour zum Königsee, Brandkopf und u a. Carl von Lindeweg zurück

One of my favorite tours here in Berchtesgaden and highly recommended for a follow-up hike. It goes along the Ache from Berchtesgaden main station via the beautiful Schönau and the Hauenstein to the completely "overcrowded" Königsee and then quickly up to the Brandkopf. From there, the Carl v Linde Weg and Hedwigsteig, which are not very popular today, back to …

After the first (sunny) hike with friends, today was the next hike, which was quickly converted into a kind of star hike due to the weather forecast (continuous rain)...🌧️

The first accommodation was extended to every day shortly beforehand, mountain huts had to be canceled and the original plan was postponed until better weather. Nevertheless, we took the bus to …

June 14, 2024,Wanderung zum Windbeutelbaron

Wonderful panoramic hike in good weather.
We first walk a bit along the Ache towards Königssee. The Ache carries significantly less water than a few days ago. The deafening roar has given way to a rushing sound.
The route now leads past the valley station of the Jennerbahn and initially up on tarred roads. From the Hirschau guesthouse, well-paved hiking …
