Berchtesgaden Vacation Guide
Berchtesgaden is an old town in the South-East of Germany, on 3 sides bordered by Austria. It is a real tourist town now, with mountains rising up all around. The most famous is the Watzmann.
The town has quite a dark history, since it was home of the Southern Headquarters of the NSDAP, Hitler’s political party. On the Obersalzberg a large mansion was built for the leader as well as several other houses, tunnels, defense works and a model farm. Currently only a few houses, including Hitler's tea house (Kehlsteinhaus / Eagle's Nest) are remaining.
The Nationalpark Berchtesgaden was established in 1978 and has gradually become one of Berchtesgaden's largest draws. Luckily, mass tourism is confined to a few popular spots, which gives alternative, nature-seeking tourists more than enough space to find peace and quiet in the Park.
The Berchtesgadener salt mines being one of the tourist attractions.

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 …

I know this is daft having a different entry for each town we stopped in, but each were so different!
Berchtesgaden sits in the shadow of Obersalzberg, and we got more really good views of Eagle's Nest from the town centre. It was a bit of an odd stop, as this was very much just a normal town, wit…
