Hiking
The Bindalm is one of the most popular hiking destinations in the Klausbach Valley, one of the main valleys in Berchtesgaden National Park. It is located not far from the historic Hirschbichl salt-harvester pass and the inn of the same name on the German-Austrian border – at the end of the valley, also known as the "Valley of the Eagles." In the heart of the national park, nature is largely left to its own devices, while alpine farming is still practiced here in the traditional way.
The hike begins at the Klausbachhaus, the national park's information center. Along the way, you'll pass a game feeding area and cross the impressive suspension bridge in the Klausbach Valley. At the Bindalm, two working dairy farms await you, offering homemade products such as butter, cheese, and refreshing drinks. If you like, you can continue from here to the Hirschbichl Alpine Inn or the Litzlalm.
The return route? It's the same. Again, with magnificent panoramas – just from a different perspective this time.

Klausbachhaus National Park Information Center
Highlight • Rest Area
The ground floor exhibition showcases the history and development of the alpine pastures in the national park, the human impact on the pastures, and introduces traditional livestock breeds. A virtual alpine farmer tells of her life and the challenges of alpine farming. The upper floor focuses on biodiversity on the alpine pastures, including typical alpine plants, insects, and twilight animals.
The Klausbachhaus is not only an information center but also a starting point for numerous hiking tours in the national park. It also features a traditional farm garden and a "sensory garden" with a barefoot trail and sound stations.

Trail Reviews
Today we went on a hike through the national park. We started at the Hintersee parking lot. From there, the trails were flat to the suspension bridge. To cross it, we had to climb the first few meters. The bridge, built in 2010, and over the Klausbach stream. Then came a few nice climbs that led us along wide paths to the Bindalm. The alpine pasture is quaint, rustic, and run by friendly people.
The hike through part of the Klausbach valley was the culmination of a great holiday. The landscape is simply breathtaking. The valley with its trees, the stream with the suspension bridge and the rugged rocks on the left and right of the path. So far I have only experienced a similarly beautiful area in national parks in the USA.
Travel from Bad Reichenhall by bus via Berchtesgaden and Hirschsee to Hirschbichl From here it's almost all downhill past the Bindalm (great hosts, both around 80 years old, and it's worth stopping by) along the shady forest paths to the Adlerblick (unfortunately we didn't see any) and on to the Hirschsee with a stop and then a return journey by bus. Overall a very nice and relaxing hike.
Easy hike on well-developed paths. At the end a beautiful little alpine pasture with a view of the golden eagle area. The signs after 90% inspection guarantee 😉
Last day of the year, last highlight of 2024. What a beautiful ending starting at the National Park House and continuing through a frozen magical world to the suspension bridge and further to the Bindalm. Back again after a well-deserved break. I wish everyone a good, healthy and active 2025.
Our introductory tour, due to the weather. 31 degrees and sometimes only sun.
Gone with the wind is how you could describe the tour, as there was a strong foehn storm on the way to Bindalm. Once there, I and my cell phone went into a real pink heather frenzy.
Tour 2 from August 14th, 2024. After we had passed through the gorge in Weissbach, we took the bus back. I then got off at Hirschbichel and then hiked to Hintersee. I actually wanted to make a stop at Bindalm, but unfortunately it was so crowded there in the wonderful weather that I continued hiking straight through to Hintersee and then treated myself to a nice Berchtesgaden beer 🍺.
