Berchtesgadener Land

Fjord-like Lake Königssee in the heart of Berchtesgaden National Park is one of nature's true masterpieces. Nestled at the foot of the imposing eastern wall of Mount Watzmann, Germany's second-highest peak, the lake's emerald green coloured water is clean enough to be of drinking quality. You will board a private boat and glide across the lake’s crystal-clear, pristine waters. Relax and enjoy the tranquil cruise while your guide shares fascinating insights and captivating stories about the region. Your first stop is the charming peninsula of St. Bartholomä. Here, you will have the opportunity to visit the impressive, red-domed pilgrimage church with its distinctive onion-shaped towers. Surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery, this idyllic spot offers countless photo opportunities. Enjoy a short walk along the shoreline or soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this historic site. A special highlight of the tour is the renowned echo of Lake Königssee. Pause for a moment and listen as your call reverberates off the towering rock faces. This natural phenomenon enchants visitors with its magic and makes for an unforgettable photo opportunity.

Experience the Kehlsteinhaus on a private tour that offers you the unique opportunity to explore this historic site as far away from the crowds as possible. A private and luxury minivan will take you up the 6.5 km (4 miles) long road to the Eagle's Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), a journey through impressive alpine landscapes and along narrow, winding mountain roads. Your guide will tell you fascinating stories about the history of the Kehlsteinhaus and the Berchtesgaden region along the way. You will stop at a special viewpoint where you can take in the scenery and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Upon arrival at the Kehlsteinhaus, a truly special moment awaits: your guide will lead you into an area of the building that is closed to the general public. Here, you will hear captivating stories and anecdotes connected to the site's history.

Enjoy a day with an experienced driver-guide who will show you the wintry delights of Berchtesgaden. The day begins with a drive along the Roßfeld Panoramic Road, a privately owned toll road that offers a breathtaking ascent into a cloud-covered winter wonderland. Winding up to 1,600 meters, the road reveals spectacular views of snow-covered fir trees, bizarre ice formations, and the mighty peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps. The tour continues to the picturesque Hintersee, a sparkling emerald mountain lake at the foot of the Hochkalter massif. The famous Zauberwald (“Enchanted Forest”) transforms into a fairytale winter landscape with snow-covered mossy boulders and surreal ice formations on the trees. A short walk here is simply magical. Next, you’ll head to the valley station of the Hochschwarzeck cable car. The gondola ride is an experience in itself. At the top, one of the most panoramic views of the region awaits: the Watzmann, the Königssee, and the Berchtesgaden valley spread out before you.
