South Germany has a rich history and here the Alps are also part of it. 2.5 hours from Munich and right below the Austrian city of Salzburg, you'll find the Berchtesgaden National Park, right next to the town of the same name. Here you overlook the impressive mountain range, the Watzmann. Officially, at 2,962 meters, the Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany, but because it lies right on the border with Austria, some look to the Watzmann as the highest mountain because it does lie entirely in Germany.
In addition to a rich history, this mountain range also has a rich variety of challenges and types of hiking trails. One day you hike leisurely along the Wimbach stream, through the Wimbach Valley and the next day you climb via cables on the Falzsteig towards the Watzmannhaus. The variety results in stages that offer something new every day so you never get bored. During your final stage, you'll even use a local ferry to make your way back to Königssee.
In short, this tour offers you an unforgettable hiking experience through Germany's only Alpine National Park. With varying degrees of difficulty, you'll walk around one of the country's most famous, as well as most beautiful, mountain range. If you have experience in the mountains and want to get away from it all, walk around the Watzmann in a week.

Königssee - Watzmannhaus
Duration: 05:20 h
Distance: 8.9 km
Ascent: 1310 m
Descent: 10 m
Guten Morgen! Today your Watzmann adventure commences. You start in Königssee, a cozy village located next to the eponymous lake. The first 5 kilometers (3 miles) go up steeply on a relatively easy trail before you continue hiking on flatter ground. In addition to the challenge of the many altimeters, you'll also encounter the Falzsteig shortly before the Watzmannhaus. This is where your mountain experience comes in handy as you have to use steel cables, steps and ladders to find your way up. A fantastic challenge that leads to a point that is considered the shoulder of the Watzmann and also your final destination; the Watzmannhaus. From here, true adventurers can climb the Hocheck, one of the highest peaks of the Watzmann Massif.

Watzmannhaus - Wimbachgrieshütte
Duration: 06:15 h
Distance: 14.5 km
Ascent: 620 m
Descent: 1200 m
You start today with the stretch you ended with yesterday and walk back down in the same direction for the first hour. This time you will leave the Falzsteig to the right and continue straight on towards the Falzalm. Here the steep descent continues until you reach the Wimbach. A small stream that flows from the mountains and provides beautiful water features and small waterfalls. Enjoy the view here and possibly a short break before continuing the hike. The last 7,7 kilometers (4,7 miles) you will walk parallel to the Wimbach creek through the Wimbach Valley. This is a relatively easy section, so mainly enjoy the surrounding mountain peaks and the breathtaking views of them. At the end of the valley you can unwind at the Wimbachgries Hütte and exchange your hiking boots for your nice soft hut slippers.
