    Author’s recommendation

    A highlight of the route is Staufeneck Castle at the foot of the Staufen. From high up, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful view over Piding and visit the Kneipp facility.

    Starting from Marzoll, the Castle Route first crosses the border into Austria to the Plainberg castle ruin in Großgmain. Back in Germany, the hiking trail winds along a railway line at the foot of the Lattengebirge. Passing through Bayerisch Gmain and the southern part of the old town of Bad Reichenhall, we continue to Kirchberg and along the salt pipeline trail towards Thumsee. From there, the route goes past the Karlstein fish farm along the Nonner Au and the Saalach to Mauthausen.
