"Bavarian Beauty" Top 5 Page for this destination Berchtesgaden by sandysmith
Berchtesgaden Travel Guide: 283 reviews and 828 photos
There are many natural attactions within its fairly small perimeter - the most popular being the fjord-like lake Konigssee and the Jenner mountain with its easy cable-car access. Further afield there are idyllic places such as Ramsau, Hintersee and gorges of Almbachklamm and Wimbach.
Also don't miss the interesting Salt Museum where you dress in old miners clothes and its fun toboggan slides into the salt caverns!
- Pros:outstanding natural beauty
- Cons:a week was not enough :-(
- In a nutshell:great summer or winter destination

Nice page! Just recommended this town to someone and was looking at some VT pages. I would love to go there again some day
Wonderful, you've got me all excited as I'm off there next month
It would be well worth the 15 minutes to see views like this lovely area
Ahh thanks for this page, Sandy :-)) Brings back so many happy memories and shows me what I missed when I was there :-) So much to see, if I return one day :-) Oh, and I love that bakery sign as well :-)) Evening smiles and hugs :-)
What a beautiful place! I hope to visit Berchtesgaden someday, it looks like a very wonderful place.
Fantastic pages,pity I cant find my pics from there,love The Eagles Nest,dodgy bus ride up there though ???
Very nice page! I want to go there next year!
Its such a beautiful place ...I really cant wait to go there. Thank you for sharing those interesting tips. I was about to abandon the salt mine stuff, until I looked at yor tips . Bravo
Avoid the burnt bum by all means but the rest is not to be missed..........fantastic photos, wonderful tips.........another must see place thank you Sandy.
Berchtesgaden is one of Germany's gems. Good selection of tips for the area. The top of the Jenner is just the start for other adventures:-] They filmed 'Winter Sleepers' - tom tykwer - here, both on the Jenner and in town.
