Scenic hike to the Grünstein in Berchtesgadener Land
From the parking lot of the Explorer Hotel Berchtesgaden, turn left onto Hofreitstraße. After the fork, keep right and take the forest path. Pass the entrance to the via ferrata and keep right again at the next junction.
The mountain path leads you to the Grünsteinhütte. From here, it's only a few minutes to the Grünstein summit (1,304 m). The path to the Kührointalm leads back to the Grünsteinhütte, and from there, follow the signs to the Kührointalm (1,410 m).
The path leads uphill and downhill, first through the forest before reaching a road that leads to the alpine pasture. Past the alpine buildings, the walk takes about 20 minutes across alpine meadows to the Archenkanzel viewpoint (1,346 m).
For the return journey, you can take the road to the Kührointalm. At the fork in the path, take the first turn to the right and descend via the Klingeralm back to the hotel.
Be sure to stick to the paths; then nothing will stand in the way of your summit bliss ;)
