These are coordinates in degrees and minutes. After all the postings during the last two days with Michael Prittwitz and Gangolf Haub I think that coordinates in decimals (as used by SP) must be Lat 47'58 N and Lon13'06 E.
For distances shown in SP it is important whether you write 12 degree 59 minutes (almost 13 degree) or 12'98 E, the same in decimals. I think a lot of not plausible distances in SP are caused by this error (SP actually shows the distance between Watzmann and Hochkalter as 22 miles!).
A good idea is to leave bikes on Eckersattel, go down by car, park it and take a bus to Kehlstein. So you can climb Hoher Göll by the Mannlsteig and descend to the Purtscheller haus and Eckersattel.
Kuchl (route from town via Kuchler Skihütte and Dürrfeichtenalm to the Purtscheller Haus) and Golling (route from the Bluntau valley and the Stahl Haus) can be reached by the Austrian motorway A10, by train (train stations at Kuchl and Golling, trains every 30-60 minutes) and public bus.
Kuchl is also starting point for the spectacular Göll east face.

Untitled CommentIt should be mentioned that especially its east side is quite impressive. It draws your attention from as far as 50km.
