Rossfeld Panorama Road (Roßfeldpanoramastraße)
Europe's highest panoramic toll road, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the Berchtesgaden Alps, including the Watzmann, Untersberg, and even Salzburg on clear days. The 15.4 km long road winds up to an altitude of 1,570 meters, featuring several designated viewpoints and ample parking. In winter, parts of the road transform into a family-friendly ski area with a few lifts (e.g., Ahornkaserlift) and toboggan runs, offering a unique high-altitude experience distinct from major resorts. The road is accessible by car (toll applies, typically around 8-10 EUR per car) and is open year-round, though winter conditions may require snow chains. It's a must-do for scenic drives and photographers.
