The area called 'Steinernes Meer', in the Berchtesgaden Alps, is a very remote and technical mountain plateau. Crossing it is a interesting challenge that many people have done on different routes. That route via the Hochkönig Summit along the ridgeline and finally down to the famous Königsee is one of the longest and most remote options. There are only two options to choose really on the crossing and this one is the more logical because it follows the (distinct) ridgeline. Public transportations is available at the end points, namely the rail station Werfen, and the boat station on the Königsee. All of the route is on marked Hiking Trails.
