Stage 8 of the Bodensee-Königssee cycle path at the foot of the Alps.
The last stage of the long-distance cycle path first leads past Höglwörther See, where a visit to the Augustinian monastery Höglwörth is worthwhile before moving on to the next highlight: the salt and spa town of Bad Reichenhall. The list of attractions and sights in the Alpine city includes the Bildstöckl Chapel, Marzoll Castle and the pilgrimage church in Karlstein, which is enthroned on the Pankrazfelsen. In front of the alpine panorama over the top of the pass, it finally goes to the destination of the bike tour: Berchtesgaden and the Königssee. It is worthwhile to linger a few more days here and explore the Watzmann, the historic salt mine or the St. Bartholomä pilgrimage chapel.
