Description

Escape the city and explore one of Bavaria’s most beautiful regions. Travel through the spectacular landscapes of Berchtesgaden, discover the history of Obersalzberg, admire the famous Königssee, visit the postcard-perfect village of Ramsau, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from Jenner Mountain.

Begin by discovering the history of one of Germany’s most significant historical sites. The Dokumentation Obersalzberg exhibition explores the region’s connection to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi dictatorship through historical photographs, documents, personal accounts, and multimedia displays.

The exhibition also provides access to the historic bunker complex, offering a deeper understanding of the events that shaped this region during the Second World War.

Next, discover the spectacular beauty of Königssee, a crystal-clear alpine lake surrounded by towering mountains and dramatic rock faces. Admire the lake’s emerald-green waters, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this extraordinary natural landscape. Take memorable photographs of the surrounding Alps and explore the lakeside area at your own pace.

Visit the famous Church of St. Sebastian in Ramsau, one of the most photographed churches in the Bavarian Alps. Set beside a mountain stream and framed by traditional Bavarian architecture and spectacular alpine scenery, the church creates a picture-perfect setting. Admire the peaceful surroundings, enjoy the mountain views, and capture beautiful photographs of this iconic landmark.

Experience one of the highlights of the trip at Jenner Mountain, where spectacular alpine scenery awaits above Königssee. Take the Jennerbahn cable car toward the mountain station at approximately 1,800 meters above sea level and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding peaks, Berchtesgaden National Park, and the magnificent Königssee below.

At the top, explore the panoramic viewpoints, take unforgettable photographs, or simply relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Depending on the weather and trail conditions, you may also have time for a short mountain walk.

You can also visit the Jenneralm mountain restaurant, where Bavarian food and drinks are available alongside beautiful alpine views.
