Berchtesgaden Walking Tour
Berchtesgaden, Germany
Why Walk Berchtesgaden
Berchtesgaden sits in a valley surrounded by the Berchtesgaden Alps in southeastern Bavaria. The Konigsee — a pristine fjord-like lake hemmed in by sheer mountain walls — is one of the most beautiful natural sites in Germany. The Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), built as a mountaintop retreat for Hitler, sits at 1,834 meters with views across the Alps into Austria.
