The Saltalp-Trail was opened in 2015 as a new hiking route, much of which is also well suited for bicycle tours. Over 233 km, the cross-border trail leads from Prien am Chiemsee across the Chiemgau and Berchtesgadener Land to Obertraun on Lake Hallstatt at the foot of the Dachstein in Austria. Lake Chiemsee, Königssee and Lake Hallstatt are the unique scenic center between the foothills of the Alps and the high mountains.
The air and Kneipp spa town of Prien is located on the "Bavarian Sea", as Lake Chiemsee is also fondly called, and is one of the two end points of the Salzalpensteig. We are in the heart of Upper Bavaria between Munich and Salzburg, at the foot of the Alps, with a view of the Kampenwand.
Prien is the largest community on Lake Chiemsee. Despite its approximately 10,000 inhabitants, the rural, family character of the town has been preserved. Here, the interested person can also expect exquisite concerts in special surroundings, e.g. on the Herreninsel in the fairy-tale castle of King Ludwig II - right in the middle of Lake Chiemsee.
