Alpine circuit around the mid-station of the Jennerbahn

The Königsbachalm circuit combines the two paths leading from Hinterbrand to Königsbachalm. In the first part, we use the Gotzen forest road, which leads past the scenic snowmaking pond, from which there is a spectacular view down into the valley and of the Watzmann massif.

The circuit is suitable as a family tour thanks to the wide hiking trails and places to stop for refreshments.

On the numerous benches around the small lake, you can relax and enjoy the view of the Watzmann and down into the valley. On the other side of the pond, we follow the forest road again. First ascending 75 m and then descending 100 m, we reach the junction of the Hochbahnweg, 1065 m, from Königssee into the Gotzen forest road. We continue on the wide forest road and climb 125 m to the managed Königsbachalm, 1190 m.

Here a hiking trail, the Königsweg, leads us left over a small
