3 K. 40h., to Abtenau 6 K.). The bridle-path from Gosau, indicated by
red marks, diverges to the right from the road near the church and as-
cends gradually, chiefly through wood. At the foot of the peak, beyond
a fence, tile path to the right leads to the (2 ¾ hrs.) Ed-Alp (4770 ft.; inn),
¼ hr. below the summit. The magnificent view includes the Dachstein
and Torstein, with the Gosau-Tal and its lakes far below; to the S.
the Tauern chain from the Hochalpenspitze to the Gross-Glockner; to
the S.W. the Uebergossene Alp, the Tennen-Gebirge, the Hohe Göll, and
finally the Untersberg. — The descent (red way-marks) leads through wood
and past several farms to the (1 ½ hr.) Lammer-Brücke. We may either
cross the bridge and follow the road direct to (4 ½ M.) Ablenau; or, without
crossing, follow the cart-track to the right to the (1 ½ M.) Hôtel Zwiesel
bad, with a mineral spring and baths, in a quiet and sheltered situation.
The road hence joins the (½ M.) Gosau road (see above), and in 3 M.
more reaches Abtenau.
From abtenau to golling (11 M.; diligence and carriages, see
p. 110 ). The road leads to the N.W. to Döllerhof and (1 ½ M.) Mühl-
rain and then descends into the deep and well-wooded valley of
the Schwarzbach, which it crosses near its junction with the Lammer
(1 ½ M.). We then follow the left bank of the latter, passing (¼ M.)
the Voglau Inn. 1/3 M. Bridge across the Lammer, crossing which
we may visit the (1 ½ M.) Aubach Fall, which descends over a
rocky wall in three stages from a height of 230 ft. (40 h.). About
1 M. farther on, to the right, below the road, is the St. Veit's
Bridge, which affords a fine view of the wild Lammer-Ofen. The
road descends to (1 M.) the Lammer-Brücke (Brückenwirt) and
follows the right bank to (3 M.) Scheffau and (3 M.) Golling (p. 117)
9. From Salzburg to Berchtesgaden. Königs-See.
From Berchtesgaden to Saalfelden.
15 ½ M. Steam tramway to (8 M.) St. Leonhard in 53 mih.; Omnibus
thence to Berchtesgaden seven times daily in 1 ¼ hr., and to Königs-See four
times daily in 2-2 ½ hrs. At Berchtesgaden the omnibus stops at the salt-
mines and at the Reichenhall station. Through-ticket from Salzburg to
Berchtesgaden 2 K.; to Königs-See 3 K., return-ticket 6 K. Circular ticket
from Salzburg to Berchtesgaden and back viâ Reichenhall, 5 K. 80, 4 K.
20h. — Carriage from Salzburg to Berchtesgaden 10 or 16 K., there and
back 13 or 20 K.; to the Königs-See and back 16 or 24 K. (visit to the salt-
mines included in each case). The drive from Salzburg and back, with
a visit to the salt-mines, occupies 8 hrs. A supply of small change in
German money will be found useful.
The Steam tramway ('Salzburger Localbahn'; p. 96) leads
through the suburb of Nonnthal (p. 100), passes (4 M.) Hellbrunn
(p. 102) and (5 M.) Anif (p. 102), and near (6 ¼ M.) Grödig (Bräu-
haus; Löwe), at the foot of the Untersberg (p. 103), crosses the
Alm Canal, conducted to Salzburg from the Ache, which drains the
Königs-See. On the hill to the right is the old château of Glaneck,
behind which towers the pointed Hochstaufen (5815 ft.); on the left is
the Schmidtenstein (5555 ft.), resembling a castle. The line skirts the
Alm Canal (cement-works) and reaches its terminus at the station of
(8 M.) St. Leonhard ( 1585 ft. ; Restaurant). On the hill to the left is
Schloss Gartenau, above the prettily-situated village of St. Leonhard.
