Berchtesgaden
♥
In 2002, Berchtesgaden celebrated its 900th anniversary. The history of Berchtesgaden is, at the same time, the history of its salt mines. "White gold" (salt) led to constant tensions between the neighbors, Bavaria and Salzburg, over the Berchtesgaden region.
Ramsau
♥
Whether you prefer leisurely strolls, hikes, or mountain climbing, Ramsau offers a wide range of possibilities. The walking paths are suitable for everyone; marked trails can even be navigated with strollers or wheelchairs. Join us on a journey through the picturesque mountain landscape of Ramsau.
Schönau am Königssee
♥
Germany’s southeasternmost municipality, bordered to the west by the Ramsau valley and opening toward the town of Berchtesgaden to the north. To the east and south, however, the mighty mountain massifs of the Hoher Göll, the Hagengebirge, and the Steinernes Meer rise up like a stone rampart.
Maria Gern
♥
The pilgrimage church of Maria Gern is located north of Berchtesgaden. It is considered one of the most beautiful rural churches in Upper Bavaria. Its stunning setting at the entrance to the valley, nestled between the Kneifelspitze peak and the southern part of the Untersberg massif, only adds to its charm. The pilgrimage to the Madonna of Gern developed after 1600.
Bischofswiesen
♥
The unique mountain backdrop—from which the silhouette of the legendary Untersberg rises prominently—and the diverse hilly and mountainous landscape create ideal conditions for relaxing hikes, spirited cycling tours, and rewarding mountain ascents.
Marktschellenberg
♥
Close to the "Mozart city" of Salzburg, Salzburg Airport, and beautiful Austrian cycling paths. Hikers and mountaineers will also find plenty to enjoy—for example, in the wild and romantic Almbach Gorge, the hiking areas of Ettenberg and Scheffau, or through mountain trekking and climbing excursions on the Untersberg massif.
Berchtesgadener Land
♥
Around 3,500 years ago, approximately 15 million cubic meters of rock broke loose between Schärtenspitze and Steinberg, plunging more than 1,000 meters into the valley below. There, massive boulders—some reaching 40 meters in height—piled up, damming the local streams. This event gave rise to the enchanting landscape known as the "Zauberwald" (Magic Forest) by Lake Hintersee, near Ramsau.
Salzburg
♥
Salzburg is the closest city in the immediate vicinity. There, you can stroll through the Old Town, indulge your passions in museums, take a beautiful boat trip on the Salzach River, wander through the narrow lanes, visit the Salzburg Fortress, or attend events in Salzburg.
Berchtesgaden Salt Mine
♥
The fascination of the underground tour stems from a vibrant blend of excitement, dramatic staging, and historical charm. Popular highlights, such as the two wooden slides or the boat trip across the underground salt lake, delight visitors of all ages.
Roßfeld High-Altitude Panoramic Road
♥
The Roßfeld Panoramic Road—specifically its highest section—runs along the Bavarian-Austrian border ridge, an offshoot of the Hohen Göll mountain in the Berchtesgaden region. It forms the final loop of the German Alpine Road at an altitude of 1,540 meters. The concept was first proposed by medical councillor Dr. Knorz from Prien in 1927.
Berchtesgaden National Park
♥
On August 1, 1978, the time had finally come: the "Ordinance on the Alpine Park and Berchtesgaden National Park" entered into force. Since 1991, the National Park—covering an area of 20,808 hectares—along with its surrounding buffer zone, has been recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve.
