Berchtesgaden Travel Blogs

In the morning we went to Berchtesgaden near the wide lake Königsee.   The reason for our flying visit there was the well-known bobsled and toboggan run where the professional athletes rush down every winter season. Would be fun to do that one day but I had to content with climbing th…

  We were staying in the area for other reasons, but the Hintersee was one of the highlights of our trip.    It was an unexpected detour after we realized there was a lake not too far from the bed and breakfast we were staying at in Ramsau.  We only went to have a look …

Berchtesgaden is a town with a dark history, since it was home of the Southern Headquarters of the NSDAP, Hitler’s political party. A large mansion (the Berghof) was built for the leader with a huge panorama window offering a great view of the mountainous surroundings. Unfortunately the Berghof w…

Germany '09---everything from Hitler's Eagle's Nest to Oktoberfest...(p.s...actual blogs to come soon, for now, just getting the pics up...)

My husband and I would buy a house and live there in a heartbeat! Some of these photos will be around Ettal, Germany and some from Berkdesgaden, Germany (better known as Eagles Nest) Unfortunatly we were unable to see Eagles Nest due to the snow! :(

I visited Central Europe for 3 weeks in June 2007 with two of my best friends. We traveled by train between Vienna, Prague, Salzburg, Munich and Budapest. Good memories...!

We did a lot of things during our short stay in Berchtesgaden.  I am always amazed by how much we do in such a short amount of time.  From the time we awoke this morning we were on the go.  On this day we visited a saltmine, the "Eagle's Nest", the Konigssee, and rested at one of the…

It's been a bit busy...
