Kehlstein, Mountain summit in Berchtesgaden Alps, Germany.

The Kehlstein reaches an elevation of 1,881 meters and stands as a subpeak of the Göll massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps region.

The summit gained recognition in 1938 when the Kehlsteinhaus was constructed on its peak, serving as a meeting place for Nazi Party officials.

The mountain location offers views of both German and Austrian territories, connecting the cultural landscapes of Bavaria and the Salzburg region.

Visitors reach the summit through a 6.5-kilometer motor road with multiple tunnels, accessed by specialized bus services during summer months.

The mountain features a 124-meter elevator shaft carved directly through solid rock, connecting the road terminus to the summit building.
