The Thumsee is really a highlight! Great panorama, a great sunbathing lawn and good refreshment options or just something for in-between at the outdoor stands. Invites you to linger, the prices are moderate in my opinion!

From wherever you look. Watzmann, Watzfrau and the seven children are also great to see from here. Photo motif

Insider tips in Berchtesgaden include the Almbach Gorge, the Marktschellenberg Ice Cave, the Maria Gern pilgrimage church, and the Rothbach Falls. A ride on the Jennerbahn cable car for panoramic views is also recommended, as is a hike through the Klausbach Valley with its suspension bridge or a tour to the Rotspielscheibe. Local experiences like the Grassl mountain distillery with gentian tasting or cozy mountain huts like the Kührointhütte are also worth a visit.
