A dreamy hike in Berchtesgaden National Park
You start the popular circular hiking trail at the Explorer Hotel Berchtesgaden. Turn right and follow Schornstraße after crossing the Königseer Ache. Keep right and follow the footpath along the Ache to the boat docks.
The path now leads you past the boathouses; it won't be long before you find yourself in the middle of Berchtesgaden National Park.
Follow the signposted path. After a short climb, you hike along a pleasantly shady forest path until you finally reach the Café Malerwinkel. Here you have a fantastic view of Lake Königssee from above.
You follow the path to the Malerwinkel viewpoint. The pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomew is about 4 km away from here. Follow the circular trail, which takes you through wooded areas and over the Jennerbahn valley station back to the starting point.
