Perlerkaser on the Untere Ahornalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the height of Ofnerboden simply follow the Roßfeldstraße. On the left hand a wooden sign marks the way to the pasture. Very nice and rustic alpine pasture and only open for a few weeks a year.

Wooden Staircase to Purtschellerhaus

Highlight • Structure

A small part of the path to the Purtscheller house. There are about 580 steps. These lead across a muddy cow pasture, so the shoes stay clean and dry.

Hans Bench With Panoramic View

Highlight • Viewpoint

If it rains, avoid the wooden steps (German Way) (they are quite slippery when wet) and take the other ascent route (the Austrian Way)

Lahnfeldbründl Water Trough and Benches

Highlight • Rest Area

A short break on the ascent, a bench and a small water trough invite you to linger. The view is not bad either.

Salzburger Weg to Purtschellerhaus

Highlight • Trail

Both the Salzburg Way and the German Way are super, super strenuous, but worth it. German Way up, Salzburg Way down - that would be my tip.

June 6, 2023,BGL: Ab Oberau zum Purtschellerhaus

I had a lot of respect for this tour, because according to komoot it has 850 vertical meters and I have never knowingly walked that many before.
It started off moderately, but got steeper and steeper and no less steep as you climbed the German path.
At the hut there was a delicious large portion of Kaiserschmarrn for € 14.40 …

June 13, 2023,Purtschellerhaus - Berchtesgaden

After a good breakfast and a good morning greeting from a capercaillie (black grouse) sitting right in the treetop in front of our window, we started the descent.
Despite the early hour, the ☀️ stood in the bright blue sky. The rocky peaks of the mountains with the snow fields were impressive. Plus the lush, blooming flora. An indescribable experience. …

From the Klaushöhe parking lot (€5) to the Purtschellerhaus in 2.5 hours. Unfortunately, komoot turned off on the way down, so the total time is incorrect.
