Is a holiday rental in Watzmann worth it?

The Watzmann is Germany's most famous mountain — at 2,713 meters, it is the third highest in the country and the highest that is entirely on German soil. Its distinctive silhouette with five peaks, which according to legend represent the petrified King Watzmann and his family, dominates the Berchtesgadener Land and is one of the most iconic mountain views in the Alps.
The Watzmann East Face is the highest rock face in the Eastern Alps at 1,800 meters and one of the great walls of alpinism. Its ascent — first achieved by Johann Grill in 1881 — is considered one of the most challenging routes in the Northern Alps and attracts experienced climbers from around the world.
For hikers, the Watzmann region offers numerous trails of varying difficulty: The Watzmannhaus hike (1,930 m) is the most popular day tour and leads through mountain forests and alpine meadows to the historic Watzmannhaus, which has been hosting climbers since 1888. From here, there is a frontal view of the East Face and the Königssee far below.
The Wimbach Gorge at the northwest foot of the Watzmann is a wild and romantic gorge with roaring waterfalls and moss-covered rock walls. The Wimbachgries — a kilometer-long high valley of rubble — offers a bizarre, almost arctic landscape in the midst of the Alps and leads to the Wimbachgrieshütte, one of the most remote bases in the Berchtesgaden Alps.
