Tour to Bindalm – hiking in the Berchtesgaden National Park

A few meters behind the national park information point, leave the asphalt road and follow hiking trail 481, past the eagle observation point until you reach the crossroads at the Lahnwald service hut. Continue straight on there, and also straight on at the next crossroads until you reach a slight incline. Just before the road, keep left and follow the path for the last few meters until you see the suspension bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Engert national park information point. From there, turn left again from the asphalt road onto the hiking trail - now over somewhat steeper sections - and continue to the Bindalm.

From there, you have the option of continuing to hike to the Austrian border crossing at the Hirschbichl Pass or you can go back to the starting point on the same route.

Note: It is possible to take the Almerlebnisbus (May - October) to the Bindalm and back.
