Tips for Trips Berchtesgadener Land
In the Berchtesgadener Land district, you can stop and listen to the echo of your voice resounding across the dark green waters of the Königssee lake, which borders five municipalities: Berchtesgaden, Bischofswiesen, Marktschellenberg, Ramsau and Schönau am Königssee. You can also let your eyes wander over more than one hundred German and Austrian mountain peaks. On top of this, you addtionally have the opportunity to visit landmarks like the Eagle’s Nest building or the historic salt mine, wander along the scenic roads, go hiking or mountaineering, enjoy a bike or mountain bike ride, go fishing, play some golf or even make the most of the winter sport opportunities…providing it’s the right time of year, of course!
