Tour to the Wimbachschloss – hiking in the Berchtesgaden National Park

You start at the Wimbachbrücke National Park Information Point. From the car park at the Wimbachbrücke, follow the signs towards Wimbachschloss. Shortly after »Wimbachs Wollstadl« you will reach a junction where you turn left to the Wimbachklamm (fee required! - coins are available from the ticket machine near the Wollstadl). You can either go through the gorge or keep to the right and follow the briefly very steep path further into the valley.

After about 1 km, the two paths meet again. With a very slight but steady incline, you take the hiking trail (411, 421) to Wimbachschloss. An ideal place to stop for a break in the summer months. The return journey takes you along the same route.

BEST MONTHS: May to October

REQUIREMENTS: mountain boots, good physical condition

WHAT TO EXPECT: easy hike with a slight incline

Please note that the difficulty information on the tour portals and signposts in the terrain may differ from one another. Your tour planning should be adapted to your physical condition, which is why we ask you to always take all factors into account and not to ignore the signs in the area!
The difficulty information on the signposts in the area corresponds to the path categories of the DAV (German Alpine Association). This tour is marked in blue and is therefore considered an easy mountain path. The paths are often narrow and can have steep sections; there is no danger of falling.
