Marktschellenberg

Marktschellenberg, set at the foot of the mighty Untersberg massif—welcoming, traditional, and full of life. You can still feel the charm of this idyllic village with its historic center. Right on the border with Austria, Marktschellenberg owes its origins to two “white treasures”: marble and salt.

Up to elevations of 1,000 meters, you’ll find a wide selection of beautifully located farm stays and country houses offering vacation apartments and guest rooms. A true holiday haven awaits—especially for families traveling with children.

Looking for a mountain adventure? At the foot of the legendary Untersberg, you can explore to your heart’s content—whether on the cross-border Nordic walking trail, the extensive network of hiking paths, or the Hochthron via ferrata. Climb up to Germany’s largest accessible ice cave or feel the power of rushing water in the wild and romantic Almbachklamm gorge.

With its close proximity to Berchtesgaden National Park, iconic sights like the Eagle’s Nest and Lake Königssee, and the city of Salzburg —just ten kilometers away—Marktschellenberg is the perfect starting point for your mountain experiences.
