Trail description
A 3.3 km climb of about 290 m from St. Bartholomä on the Königssee, reached by boat, to the Eiskapelle, the lowest permanent snowfield in the Alps at the foot of the Watzmann east face. The last stretch crosses moraine and snow; never enter the ice cave, as its roof collapses without warning.
