History of the Wachterl
At the time of the princely provostship of Berchtesgaden, the Wachterl Pass was the border between the independent ecclesiastical principality and Bavaria. This border was of course constantly guarded, hence the name "Wacht". Even back then, the "Wachterl" inn at the top of the pass was a hostel and refreshment stop for people and animals. The historic brine pipeline from the Berchtesgaden salt mine to the saltworks in Bad Reichenhall also ran over the pass.
