Warnings Or Dangers: the main paths are easy, BUT...
  • Tip Rating:
  • As long as you just take a little walk in the back of Kehlsteinhaus you certainly dont need any special mountain-equipment, some ordinary shoes will be enough. Also the path from Obersalzberg to the upper parking and from there to Kehlsteinhaus (when you want to avoid the golden elevator) is asphalted and easy to walk on.
    Just in case that you plan to hike in the steep cliffs behind the panorama-points of Kehlsteinhaus, you really need good mountain-shoes, these steps and rocks are quite steep, dangerous and slippery. These paths were built for the soldiers who had to defend the area in WW II and I saw many tourists trying to walk there in high heels and ordinary shoes, but they returned quickly after a few steps...

    Warnings Or Dangers: Make your 1st stop in St.Bartholomae

  • Make your 1st stop in St.Bartholomae, before you continue to Salet ! Especially on a sunny day with thousands of tourists going mainly to St. Bartholomae it might make sense to stop first in St.Batholomae and continue the roundtrip to Salet and Obersee from there : All ships will go first to St. Batholomae, drop some passengers there and go on to Salet .
    In order to continue your cruise to Salet,you will have a completely seperate line and counter than the majority of people, queuing up for returning to Schoenau.
    It took me 30 minutes to queue up and get the ship back, in the same time there were just a very few people in the other line and I could easily have taken the ship to Salet and back to Schoenau in that same time...
    The ships from Schoenau to St.Bartholomae take about 35 minutes, from St.Bartholomae to Salet it takes 20 minutes one way. the return-ticket is 11 euros / 14 euros.
    There are also cheaper combination-ticets with Jennerbahn !

     I would like to make St. Bartholomae my first stop and then a refreshing pils at Bier Adam!

     I have been to the Kehlsteinhaus a number of times. The last time I walked up - I must have been crazy, but you do have time to photograph the views as you catch your breath.

     St. Bartholomae, pilgrim-church looks fairy-like. I was going to visit this beautiful corner of Bavaria some 10 years ago but my 3 cons were: crowds, unpredictable weather (in mountians) and high prices. Maybe soon... ffter reading your wonderful page :-)
