The remaining teams set off from their Pit Stop in Stechelberg in the Burmese Alps and receive a clue instructing them to fly to Munich, Germany and then drive to Ruhpolding, where they will ride a cable car to the top of the mountain. A scramble for flights results in eight teams boarding the earliest-arriving flight, with two lagging behind. Upon reaching the mountain, racers are faced with a critical decision when adverse weather conditions affect the leg's Roadblock. One racer initially falls behind, only to surge ahead after making a choice that sets him apart from the pack. Another racer gets lost on the mountain. Later, racers drive 25 miles to Schönau am Königsee and locate their next clue near the area of a bobsled track. They face a Detour requiring them to either complete an obstacle course with a Segway or engage in pie-throwing. Upon completing the Detour, the racers then have a Tyrolian woodcutter cut a small piece of wood that is stamped with a clue that turns out to direct them to the Pit Stop. All racers hurry to the Schloss Hellbrunn (Hellbrunn Castle) in Salzburg, Austria, but one team is ultimately unable to recover from an earlier error and is eliminated from the race.
