Our tour started in gorgeous weather at the Salet pier at the far end of Lake Königssee in Berchtesgadener Land. To get to Salet, you take a boat from Königssee. These leave about every 30 minutes and the round trip costs 25 euros per person (effective October 2022). The lake crossing alone is picturesquely beautiful and the color of the water is truly incredible when the sun shines on it!
The hike up to the top of the Höfats would be an extraordinarily challenging hike, which even extremely experienced mountain sportsmen and women should dare to do. But: Does it always have to be a summit climb? How about a round trip instead? After all, the circular route around the Höfats offers breathtaking views of the mountain as well as several other Allgäu Alpine highlights and cozy places to stop for refreshments.
Hiking in the Taunus with children goes particularly well on the Wichtelweg. The route combines fantastic vantage points with exciting stories along the way, making it perfect for families. A free Wichtel fairy tale podcast can get you in the right mood for the hike while you're still on the trail.
