Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Drive along the panoramic road in July in glorious weather. Priceless in a convertible!
Car toll: 9 euros. A toll that is really worth it. There are plenty of parking spaces and rest areas.
Very nice, well-signposted hiking trails.

I wish I could be more positive about this. However, when we went there the weather was not great. We hoped that it would clear up because the drive round the area was beautiful, but sadly the fog did not clear so we just enjoyed the drive but had no beautiful photographs to support it. Such a shame

The views are really stunning. We went here few times during out stay as our son likes to sleep in the car. There are lot of possibilities to stop and enjoy the view. Generally is very thought of attraction.

It's difficult to review a road - it's a good road, high in the mountains with outstanding views. You don't have to be on the road to get spectacular views - but that doesn't diminish how good these views are. The Kehlstein and Hoher Goll are spectacular and the view across to Salzburg is magnificent. It's definitely worth seeing - and I would argue that it's worth the toll, even if there are other places you can see the view for free.
However, I wanted to write a review to point out that you don't need to be in a car to enjoy this attraction. If you are staying in town and have a guest card (available from hotels for people staying in the region, for a small deposit) you can catch the buses for free. The 848 goes halfway along the Rossfeld Road about four or five times a day (check the timetables and destination board though, since travel along the road is seasonal and frequency varies). You will need to pay a part of the toll for the road to the bus driver - we paid 1.50Euro each in September 2015 - but you don't pay anything else. The bus goes as far as Hannenkopfl, which is where the best views are to be had and a short panoramic walk is signposted. You can stay on the bus, which will turn around and return the way it came, or wait for the next one - again, be sure to check the timetables but there was one an hour after ours.
We chose, however, to use the bus stop as the start of a hike - a short way along the road itself and then along a footpath to the foot of the climb up to Purtschellerhaus. We then followed footpaths down the hillside, through alms and woods, eventually to Buchenhohe, from where we caught the bus back to Berchtesgaden.
You will need a map and a bus timetable, or to be prepared to confirm details with the bus driver, but you can enjoy Rossfeld without a car. It costs less and you still get the amazing views - plus a great starting point for a day's hiking. Very much recommended!

I´m sure this is a really enjoyable ride on a sunny day, and for most tourists it´s probably worth the money.
I had only one day to get to see this place, and this day was of course super cloudy.
The lady in the entrance station said it was worth it anyway, but I was barely able to see anything at all. Also, the price for driving this road was quite expensive. Before coming here, I thought there would be no extra fee driving this particular road.
Anyhow, a nice experience also driving to the destination itself (before the fog appeared), where you encounter some really nice views and interesting houses/restaurants closeby. Be aware, the roads are steep - and I´m used to steep roads back in Norway.

There is a toll but you will be happy to pay it when you see where the road takes you.
High alpine views. We drove on a partly cloudy day in mid-May. The road was clear, but there was snow banked up in places on the side. There are several easy pullouts, one in particular at a bridge about mid-way where you have wonderful views of snow-capped peaks, so close you feel as if you can reach out and touch them. I was clad in shorts and a shirt and it felt perfect.
We live in a mountainous region so we generally do not seek out mountain views, and we were not planning on doing this drive. It turned out be wonderful. We stopped at an alpine cafe and had coffee and cake while looking at the peaks on one side, and the expansive view to the town below. I suppose this is very much a weather dependent activity. There are webcams one can check to give an idea before setting out.
On the drive out (down) we passed through picturesque alpine meadows, bathed in wonderful green and dotted with farm buildings. A superb outing.

You need the right kind of weather for this tour - there's not much to see when it's rainy or foggy, but we went on a bright sunny day and the 8 euros you have to pay to use this road are well-invested.
Views are breath-taking and you can spend hours just being there and enjoying the scenery.

we rented a car and the hotel owner suggested us, to drive through the Rossfeld Panoramastrasse. What a nice time. We went first to the Kiehlstein Haus ( Eagles Nest) . We were at the Rossfeldpanoramastrasse at around 2PM- 3PM . Very very nice place. It´s not about getting there, it´s about the trip. We stopped 2 or 3 times to see the views.

Welche (leichte) Wanderungen sind empfehlenswert, eventuell auch mit Kinderwagen?

Hello,
Sorry I cannot answer, because we drive through by car before closing. Die Aussicht war spektakulär.

Hi,
Is it safe to drive the rossfeld panoramastrasse in a Mercedes c180 station wagon when it’s heavily snowing?
Thank you
Written 5 January 2019
We went there last September. I have never driven in snow. But the road has many curves and slopes (up and down) . I recommend , that you contact the Panorama StraBe directly about your inquiry. They surely know better and any of us.

How long did it take you to do the drive, including stopping to take in the views?
Written 3 July 2015
We were staying in Berchtesgaden and so the start of the drive was only 15-20 minutes away. Obviously, it depends on how long you spend out of the car. The drive itself would only be an hour or so. It depends a lot on the weather, if it's cloudy then you will be driving in the clouds, it's pretty high, and probably not stopping often. Even on a misty day, it's worth the trip. Clear spots have fantastic views.
