Scenic hiking trail in the Berchtesgaden National Park, Bavaria.
This is a beautiful and relatively easy ascent from the middle station of the Jennerbahn cable car to the Carl-von-Stahl-Haus. Sturdy footwear and a good basic level of fitness are recommended due to the sometimes uneven paths and the almost constant ascent in the first half of the hike.
The route passes the mountain station of the Krautkaser lift and the Mitterkaser Alm and finally reaches the popular Carl-von-Stahl-Haus on the Torrener Joch (refreshment stop) after a gentle up and down. Here you can spend some time enjoying the unforgettable panoramic views over the Berchtesgaden Alps while savouring a hearty meal. Return along the same route.

- Arrival by cable car
