St. Bartholoma Circuit Trail - Barrier-free Hiking Trail

By boat, you can reach the St. Bartholomä peninsula from the Seelände on Königssee. There, you begin the circular route, past the St. Bartholomä pilgrimage church, continuing to the National Park Information Centre (accessible toilet) on a flat path directly to the wildlife feeding area (winter only). Behind this, the path turns right for about 100 metres, which you follow to Königssee. There, turn right again and walk along the lake shore (rest benches) back to the boat landing stage.
The walking time is approx. 1 hour (depending on the person).

WHAT AWAITS YOU
Easy walk with little incline.

Please note that the difficulty ratings on tour portals and signposts in the area may differ. Your tour planning should be adapted to your physical condition, which is why we ask you to always consider all factors and not to ignore the signs in the terrain!
The difficulty ratings on the signposts in the terrain correspond to the path categories of the DAV (German Alpine Club). This tour is marked in yellow and is therefore considered an accessible path. The paths are wide, have no or only slight inclines, and there is no risk of falling.
Please note: The landing stage is made of wooden planks.

TIP
A jewel of this round is the St. Bartholomä pilgrimage church directly on the shore of Königssee.
