A very beautiful circular walk, but for the detour to the Rabenwand you should definitely wear sturdy shoes and be physically fit. But it's worth it, the view is great.

The tour runs on wide, light gravel paths. The turn-off in the middle to the Rabenwand was a real challenge, however, as it was a steep climb over hill and dale, rocks and slippery roots.

The first Valentine's Day tour was on Königssee, at the beginning and on the Rabenwandstieg there is a need to grapple due to icing, the rest on the sunny side is super accessible. We took all the side options with us and enjoyed the warm midday sun with a snack.
Then off we go, because Tour 2 is still waiting. …

Rother Hiking Guide: "This short and easy hike along the northern shore of Lake Königssee offers fantastic views of the lake and St. Bartholomew's Church."

The trail is easy to follow through the forest; only the detour to the Rabenwand turns into a root-covered, rocky mountain path. Hiking boots strongly recommended! Good bus connections from Berchtesgaden to Lake Königssee.
