To see the sun rising over the steep rocks of the Stony Sea is really worth the effort. Alpine pastures are on the edges of the mountains and you will walk from mountain hut to mountain hut with exciting views to the alps and glaciers.

Some of you may know the city of Berchtesgaden where you will find the Eagles nest and a very interesting information centre about the time and history of “Obersalzberg – Hitlers mountain resort”.
