Saletalm, Mountain pasture in Schönau am Königsee, Germany
Saletalm is a mountain pasture situated between Lake Königssee and Lake Obersee at about 610 meters elevation. The property includes a self-service restaurant, multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for visitors, and serves as a base for exploring hiking trails across the area.
This pasture was established in 1912 and became an important stopping point for travelers exploring the Berchtesgaden Alps. Over time, it developed as a place where mountain hikers could rest and find refreshment during their journeys.
Local farmers from nearby farms run this pasture and keep traditional Alpine dairy practices alive on the slopes. This way of working with the land has shaped the valley for generations and remains visible in how the place operates today.
Visitors reach this location by taking an electric boat across Lake Königssee to the Salet dock, then walking about five minutes to arrive. This access method makes it easier to reach than many other mountain locations in the region.
The property has several distinct spaces, including a hunters' room with its own character separate from the main dining area. The large outdoor beer garden provides a completely different experience from sitting indoors.
