Berchtesgaden - your mountain escape

In Berchtesgaden, the dramatic mountain landscape—crowned by the legendary Watzmann—sets the tone for everything. Whether you venture deep underground at the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine or the Salt Healing Tunnel to discover the region’s “white gold,” or ride the Obersalzbergbahn gondola to more than 1,000 meters to explore historic Obersalzberg, the Eagle’s Nest, and the Documentation Center, the mountains are always by your side. The Rossfeld Panoramic Road, part of the famous German Alpine Road, carries you comfortably up to 1,600 meters and opens up sweeping views in every direction.

At Watzmann Therme, you immerse yourself in Berchtesgaden’s brine, drawn from deep inside the mountain. At Haus der Berge, everything revolves around the fascinating natural world of Berchtesgaden National Park. On the “Historic Walk through Berchtesgaden,” you travel through time, trace the town’s eventful past, and discover the most important places in the town center. And in the evening, culture and entertainment await right in the heart of Berchtesgaden at AlpenCongress.
