Berchtesgadener Land: A hiking paradise

The region Berchtesgadener Land in Southern Germany, close to the Austrian border, is ideal for your next trip if you seek to align your spirits with nature. One highlight is Lake Königssee, which is surrounded by the steep rock walls of for example the famous Mount Watzmann (2,713m) amongst others. If you have the time, enjoy a boat trip to St. Bartholomew where a small pilgrimage church awaits your visit. The region offers many challenges for hiking enthusiasts, as there are remote mountain peaks to climb and other waterfalls and lakes to admire along the way. The video introduces some breath-taking and spectacular views from a bird’s eye perspective if you need even more convincing that the national park is worth a trip. Watch the video here.

The Moselle River: Cycling along vineyards
