24 Hours in the Bavarian Alps, Southern Germany 🇩🇪 | Berchtesgaden, Königssee & Ramsau!

A perfect day in Southern Germany! Come watch and create your bucket list itinerary for the Berchtesgaden region!
It was our first time exploring this region in Germany and we were completely BLOWN away by the views! Our morning began with a beautiful boat ride on Königssee surrounded by the towering Bavarian Alps. We stopped at Salet to hike around Obersee to take in more of the inspiring mountain & lake views.
After a tour of the famous Berchtesgaden Salt Mines (not documented) we made our way over to Ramsau + Hintersee for a refreshing dip in the water. Make sure to stop at the famous church viewpoint in Ramsau-so picturesque!

The boats on Königsee are electric since 1909. They had some steam boats, but not for long. Before that they were rowboats.

[@krisa990]

Something about those cowbells that together with the cows grazing,the beautiful environment of bavarian mountains and lake that is incredibly calming to the mind and soul..

[@hape3862]

Fun fact: Königssee isn't a Canyon (carved by water), but actually a real Fjord (carved by glaciers), just like the ones in Norway or New Zealand. And just like them it is quite deep. The only difference is that it isn't connected to the ocean, obviously.

[@OurStorytoTell]

It’s amazing!! 😍

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

"The only difference is that it isn't connected to the ocean, obviously." Which by definition it has to be, to be considered a Fjord.

It’s like being in a fairytale film here in Germany, isn’t it? I‘ve been working at the North and East sea coasts recently, but I particularly love the Autumn in the South. The goldende Herbst… ❤️ 🍂 ☀️

Sounds like we better go back in the Autumn! 😍 So cool you’ve experienced so many different parts of Germany! Keep your eye out for a few Northern Germany videos! ☺️

Beautiful! We did Berchtesgaden and Königssee last year! We loved it! This year we are in Austria again. I can never get enough of the Alps. I feel calmer the closer we get even after being here 20 years and seeing them ( weather permitting ) from my house 100 miles away. They simply speak to me in a way I can’t describe.

I was thinking about you guys lately, when I visited Burghausen, which is, based on your understanding of distances, around the corner from where you live. The castle is one of the world longest, overlooking a lake on one side and the village of Burghausen on the other. I have to confess that I, as a German, never heard about this place untill three weeks ago, which is a shame 'cause it's worth a visit! So my plan is to hook you up and wait for another wonderful video. 😉😁 Btw, your Iceland videos are stunning!

Starting from Salet or St.Bartholomä you can ascend up the Mountain to start a hiking trip once all around Königssee through a landscape called Steinernes Meer or petrified sea.

What am I in for if I visit end of November into early December? Snow? Rain? Cold? Lol. Nonetheless, I can’t wait to go!

[@Opa_Andre]

Wow, Willa seems to be a really strong, hardened girl - going for a swim in the lake. Due to it being really deep the water is colder than you might expect. Too bad that St. Bartholomae was closed due to covid. On the opposite you still got decent weather conditions and it wasn't too crowded. As you could experience the trumpet echo: Imagine living / working at the Salet Alm from fall to autumn where they take care of their cows, producing cheese etc. During bad weather conditions (thunderstorms) you do not just hear the rumbling thunder but also its echo's - can become a really scary event.

A two day recommendation to Switzerland: 1.) Luzern with Vierwaldstättersee 2.) Lauterbrunnen valley with the mountain train to the Jungfraujoch at 3454m (11,332 ft), the highest train station in Europe. It's quite expensive, but worth the money, warm clothing required. I don't know if this is too much for a toddler. Switzerland in general is expensive. Don't drive too fast, fines are high also.

Yeah Berchtesgaden, salt mines and Königssee much more important than the dreaded Eagles Nest or Berghof. Don't get me wrong, both are historical relevant but for example the Eagles Nest was never favored by Hitler. To the contrary, he was almost never there.
