Salt water pipelines were formerly used to transport salt from digging to consumers. This pipeline was 107km long and conncted Berchtesgaden with Rosenheim from 1810 to 1958. Hiking paths and stairways close to the pipeline were needed to maintain the pipeline. There is a history museum today at the coordinates called Klaushäusl. The access to the stairways is free and not bound to the opening times. Enjoy the view!

Soleleitungen wurden früher gebraucht, um das Salz vom Abbauort zum Konsumenten zu bringen. Diese Soleleitung war 107km lang und verband Berchtesgaden mit Rosenheim. Sie bestand von 1810 bis 1958. Fußwege und Treppen gibt es überall entlang der Soleitung, um Wartungsarbeiten durchzuführen. An den Koordinaten in der Pumpstation befindet sich das Museum Klaushäusl. Der Zugang zu den Treppen ist kostenlos und unabhängig vom Museum möglich, die Aussicht lohnt die Mühe!
