The Stone Agnes is one of the three outstanding natural phenomena in the Berchtesgadener Land. It has been recognized by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment as one of "Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes."

The Stöhrhaus, built in 1896, is located at 1894 meters. Friendly hosts and pretty girls. The water in the toilet is labeled "not drinkable." I drank several liters, and everything was fine. The water just hasn't been treated with UV light. If you still have doubts, you can purchase 1.5 liters of water for €3.70. Please take your trash with you!
