Berchtesgaden city & region
Nature meets culture. Worth seeing in Upper Bavaria
There is so much to discover in the immediate vicinity of the EDELWEISS hotel and spa. Beyond Berchtesgaden's charming town centre, the idyllic beauty of the Alps won't fail to impress. With the fantastic views of the Watzmann, you can experience nature up close at the beautiful Lake Königssee, likewise in the middle of the Alps in the Berchtesgaden national park. Culture vultures will be enthralled by both the Obersalzberg Mountain and the city of Salzburg itself, as both are steeped in history.
Holidaying in the Berchtesgadener Land region is good for the soul… all year round! Take in the unmistakeable Alpine views from the Eagle's Nest and listen out for the echo on Lake Königssee. Discover nature's genuine beauty in Upper Bavaria and experience things which will stay with you forever.
Adventure up close.
