Teufelshörner

The Teufelshörner consists of two peaks reaching 2,363 meters, connected by a rocky ridge that marks the border between Bavaria and Salzburg.

The first documented climb of these peaks occurred in the late 19th century, initiating the development of mountaineering activities in the Berchtesgaden region.

The name Teufelshörner, meaning Devil's Horns, stems from regional folklore about supernatural entities dwelling in these steep mountain formations.

Access to the peaks requires a boat ride across Königssee to Salet, followed by a challenging climb that typically demands an overnight stay at Wasseralm.

A narrow knife-edge ridge connects the two summits, offering views of Hochkönig, Watzmann, and Tennengebirge from an elevation of 2,363 meters.
