The tour is completely snow-free 👍 The path near the bobsleigh run is closed and you have to take a small detour.

September 7, 2025,Königssee – Grünstein-Gipfel Runde von Königssee

Grünstein – the name says it all. The mountain/rock is completely green and wooded all the way to the top. A dream, actually. However, the path is more like a ramp. 😅
From 24 to 36% gradient. 🙈The hiking poles would have been really useful there. They've been resting at home. 🤣Sometimes a packing list like that is really useful...
