From Lake Königssee to Lake Chiemsee

Follow the Saalachtal valley to the Lamprechts cave, the longest passage cave in Europe. Continue to St. Martin, home of the pilgrim church 'Maria Kirchtal'. Walk up to the church in an idyllic side valley, closely along the walls of Loferer Steinberge. On this beautiful trail, you will soon reach the town of Lofer, surrounded by numerous impressive mountain ranges.

Take the cable car up to Loferer Alm, where a high altitude path to the Steinplatten massif starts. Walk across alpine pastures and a lovely mountain forest to Loferer Steinplatte. The idyllic alpine pasture Winklmoos Alm is an ideal stop for a Bavarian 'Brotzeit'. Well sustained, you take the bus to Reit im Winkl.

Enjoy a quiet day in the well-known holiday resort of Reit im Winkl. Take a circular hike and follow our hiking tip through the Klausenbachklamm gorge. In the afternoon, a visit to the schnapps museum and a stroll through the tranquil Bavarian town are worthwhile.

The 'Eye of lake Chiemsee' is the poetic name of lake Taubensee. This is easily understood when you see this idyllic mountain lake, nestling in a little basin of Rauhe Nadel on 1138 m. A fantastic walk from alpine pasture to alpine pasture and downhill into the valley Achental awaits you.

After a short ascent, you walk through the forests up to the alpine pastures on Hochplatte and then to Kampenwand with views over the Lake Chiemsee. Continue on a trail from cabin to cabin beneath Kampenwand, which has a beautiful 12-meter high iron cross at the top. You will take the comfortable cable car down to Aschau, where you take a short train ride to the lake Chiemsee.
