Spending the most valuable time of the year in the Berchtesgaden area (Berchtesgaden, Bischofswiesen, Marktschellenberg, Ramsau, Schönau a. Königssee), you are entitled to receive a so called “Gästekarte”, which can be translated to a “guest card”. Everyone gets their own guest card, families won’t have to share. It’s valid from the day of arrival to the day of departure.
Background information: Having to take care of a wide and complex touristic infrastructure, the communes need to demand a local tax from guests to balance their costs. In return, guests receive a plastic card, which will get them discounts or even free entrance to many different attractions in Berchtesgaden-Königssee, Bad Reichenhall/ Bayerisch Gmain, Salzburger Land and Chiemgau.
For example: Between Bischofswiesen, Schönau and Marktschellenberg, on most bus lines and trains you ride for free. You also get a discount of 50 % at communal parking areas.
Just present your guest card at any point of acceptance, which you can find in our Gästekarte-brochure and benefit by paying less. In case of loss please inform your host. He will replace it as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact your local tourist information office.
There also is a chance to win: Just fill in the coupon at the back of the brochure "Ihre Gästekarte - immer ein Gewinn" and leave it at your local tourist information centre. You might be surprised by a great prize at the end of the year.
