There are many legends associated with the Untersberg mountain. According to one legend, the Emperor Charlesmagne never really died, but instead is sleeping in the Untersberg along with his loyal knights. He will awaken, so the legend goes, when the empire needs him the most and when the ravens no longer fly around the mountain’s top. When this happens, Charlesmagn, the “Father of Europe” and his men will again come to the aid of his people.

It is important to remember that you are in high-alpine country and that you should therefore have proper clothing and shoes.
