Scenic hike to a foothill of the Berchtesgaden Alps. This route is also highly recommended in summer since the ascent and descent lead through cool mountain forest. Highlights of the route are the summit panorama, the pilgrimage church Maria Gern, and the Gerner Gorge. The route ends in the old town of Berchtesgaden.
