Information center of the Berchtesgaden National Park
The "Vertical Wilderness" exhibition is located in a large room in the Haus der Berge in Berchtesgaden, where visitors can get to know the local nature on a constantly ascending hike:
- The entire spectrum of life from the bottom of Lake Königssee to the peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps
- The habitats: water, forest, alpine meadows and rock/karst
- Sound and light stagings for the special moods of nature in a seasonal change
The highlight of the exhibition is the mountain showcase, whose slats at the end of the exhibition provide a view of the Watzmann, thus building a bridge between the recreated nature of the exhibition and the actual Berchtesgaden National Park.
There is also a cinema, the "Spiesbergers Alpenküche" restaurant and special and temporary exhibitions in the information center. Admission to the cinema, the special and temporary exhibitions and the library is free of charge.
