Berchtesgaden 2011

The Berchtesgaden country is one of Germany's most beautiful Alpine landscapes, so we decided to go there for an extended weekend. We made a detour through Austria on the Gerlos and Großglockner high alpine roads. There are Europe's highest waterfalls (380m) at Krimml, and the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs Heights at the Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain. We walked on the Gamsgrubenweg above the Pasterze glacier, saw marmots and wild ibexes. Another stop was at the Eisriesenwelt in Werfen. In Berchtesgaden, we visited the Dokumentation Center Obersalzberg and the Kehlsteinhaus, took a via ferrata tour on the Grünstein mountain with a mountain guide, took a boat on the Königssee and hiked to the Ice Chapel at the St. Bartholomä peninsula. The biggest attraction of it all, though, have been the spectacular mountain vistas on this tour.
