Path Conditions
For 400 years, every August you set out on the path from Maria Alm across the Steinernes Meer to St. Bartholomä on the Königssee in neighboring Bavaria. Don't worry, you don't have to take the entire pilgrimage route on this hike, but you will at least get a sense of this very special atmosphere. The starting point is the village square of Maria Alm. Across the bridge opposite, next to the gourmet inn Moserwirt, and past the country guesthouse hotel Almerwirt, path no. 21 branches off to the right toward Dürnberg. Continue along path no. 21c to the guesthouse Kronreith. At the access road, path no. 23 turns left here. The wonderful meadow path is replaced by an idyllic trail through the sparse forest and leads into the alpine pasture area. Past the Kraller farmstead, it goes along the Krallerbach back to the village square. Along the path, five stations provide information about the traditional pilgrimage.
