Berchtesgadener Land, located at the southeastern tip of Germany, is considered one of the most beautiful and varied vacationing spots in Germany. In the north lie the gentle swells of the Rupertiwinkl hills and the high peaks of the Bavarian Alps tower to the south. Active vacationers will not only be impressed with the numerous sport possibilities, but also with the sights of this area: Be it the legendary Watzmann Mountain, world-renowned Lake Königssee or the mythical Untersberg mountain where, according to legend, Charlemagne slumbers in the deep.

There are hundreds of miles of idyllic hiking trails, for example in the Berchtesgaden National Park. Here one finds abundant wildlife, including golden eagles, chamois, deer and marmots, as well as a huge variety of alpine wildflowers. For those who now might want to know more, the words of the Bavarian writer Ludwig Ganghofer are appropriate: "He whom God loves is dropped into the Berchtesgadener Land". So why not drop by?
