Versatile route in the Berchtesgaden National Park, Bavaria.
This varied route begins at the Mooskaser Saletalm, which is open all year round. It leads uphill via the Sagerecksteig to the junction to the idyllic Schwarzsee. The shady forest trail is partly steep, secured with wire ropes and equipped with wooden stairs. From there you can climb the Halsköpfl.
Continue to the Teufelshörner and the seasonally managed Waseralm, where you turn onto the Röthsteig. The Röthsteig, which is partially secured with wire ropes, requires surefootedness and a head for heights. Here you have the opportunity to visit the highest waterfall in Germany. The path leads along the Fischunkelalmweg past the popular Fischunkelalm and along the enchanting Obersee on a wide hiking trail back to the starting point.
In general, sturdy shoes are recommended and a certain level of fitness is required.
