The city
Berchtesgaden sits at the far southeast of Bavaria, surrounded by mountains and the Austrian border; Salzburgo is about 25 km away. The town grew around a monastery and a salt mine active since 1517, the Salzbergwerk. Nearby are the Königssee, with electric boats to St. Bartholomä, the Nationalpark Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg, home to the Dokumentation Obersalzberg and the Kehlsteinhaus.

The local experience
A narrow lake between steep mountain walls, inside the Nationalpark Berchtesgaden. Electric boats take about 35 minutes to the church of St. Bartholomä, with a stop for the echo played by the boatman. In season they continue to Salet.
Built by the Nazi Party in 1937 and 1938, at 1,834 meters above Berchtesgaden. Today it is a restaurant with an exhibition about its history. It can only be reached by a special bus and an elevator during the summer season.
Documentation center about the Obersalzberg and the Nazi dictatorship, built in the former restricted area of the regime above Berchtesgaden. The exhibition includes part of the bunker system.
The oldest active salt mine in Germany, in operation since 1517. The guided tour goes down by a small train into the mountain, uses wooden slides and crosses an underground lake by boat.
The only German national park in the Alps, established in 1978, featuring the Watzmann, the Königssee and valleys such as the Wimbachtal. The visitor center Haus der Berge, at the entrance to Berchtesgaden, has an exhibition about the park.
