Kaunersteig, Mountain trail in Berchtesgadener Alps, Germany
The Kaunersteig extends from Saletalm at 610 meters to Gotzenalm at 1685 meters through forest sections and steep terrain along the Königssee.
The path underwent significant modifications in 2019 following a mudslide event, resulting in alterations to the lower section and increased difficulty rating.
This route represents a traditional Alpine hiking path, connecting mountain pastures and dairy farms that maintain centuries-old agricultural practices.
The trail spans 3.57 kilometers with an elevation gain of 190 meters uphill and 970 meters downhill, requiring solid hiking experience and proper equipment.
The path features 35 serpentine turns as it climbs eastward, providing different perspectives of the Königssee and surrounding mountain landscape.
