Berchtesgaden, Hoher Göll
Description:
Another mystery...back side of old print photo indicates (?) 'Im Hinterge???? Hohe Göll 6.6.52'. Hohe Göll is a mountain near Berchtesgaden but picture does not match with Internet pix from 'Hohe Göll'. And I did not find any place in that region starting with 'Hinterge????', except a parking lot 'Hintergerner' but that does not seem to fit. Need expert help...Many thanks!

@Michael - yes, it's interesting to compare that Berchtesgaden360 pic to "our" pic. There are two quite characteristically-shaped meadows at the mountain slope at the very right. In the old pic, they are "below" the small summit; in the pic you've linked, the small summit is left of them. So, a line drawn from the summit to the picture location must be westwards compared to the B360-pic (in my first comment, fifth from below, i erroneously wrote "east"...). Maybe this fits the B20...
It *might* be Silberbergstraße (B 20), wets of Berchtesgaden. I've created a pic in google earth that seems to fit the mountain / wood / meadow pattern in the background. the Silberbergstraße seems to be the only bigger street pointing in the right direction and providing a right-hand bend.

Please compare the following pic: external link - i assume the old photo was taken at a place northeast of that pic, not far away (compare the wood / meadow on the mountain at the very right)
Marker put close to summit of the Höher Göll.
Höher Göll.
The Hoher Göll is a 2,522 m (8,274 ft) mountain in the Berchtesgaden Alps, the highest peak of the Göll massif, which straddles the border between the German state of Bavaria and Salzburg, Austria.

But I couldn't find what you are looking for.
Good luck ...
