Germany's only Alpine National Park Lofty, wild and majestic, "King" Watzmann (2713m) reigns over the Berchtesgadener Land as he surveys his kingdom: Berchtesgaden National Park. High mountains, deep valleys and crystal-clear alpine streams define this protected area bordering Austria. "Allow nature to remain in its natural state" is the motto of Germany’s only Alpine National Park. Berchtesgaden National Park is located in the southeast of Germany, in Bavaria and adjoining the Austrian Salzburg region. Founded in 1978, the park includes an area of 210 square kilometres and is owned by the federal state of Bavaria. In addition, the park is the core and buffer zone of the biosphere reserve Berchtesgadener Land.

We parked in the car park opposite the museum, which was only €1 for two hours. Entry to the museum is crazy value for money at only €4/adult, which is discounted further if you have a Berchtesgaden card. (However, there is a minimum spend if you wish to pay by card). We had the whole museum to ourselves for our entire visit! The staff (and reception bear!) are friendly and the exhibition itself is informative, surprising, interesting and captivating; it held our attention for a good hour. The displays have captions in both German and English (which I realised after slowly trying to translate the German!!) Haus der Berge is far more than stuffed exhibits; the animals and birds are arranged with real thought to add interest, it's hard to spot everything the first time you look! This, combined with the bitesize information makes natural history exciting! The tunnels section with torches is inspired! (Do mind your head though!!) Any nature lover will enjoy!

I think an important thing to know about getting to the entrance is that it’s a bit of an uphill hike. Not a difficult hike but you just don’t arrive at the entryway via a short walk from the parking area. Prepare to get wet along the way. I didn’t get drenched but I definitely should have worn a raincoat. The trail itself is well kept while in the canyon and tunnels. It can get somewhat crowded but it wasn’t uncomfortable for me. It could be loud due to the roaring water. Once out of the tunnels it was about another 20 uphill minutes to the restaurant at the end of the trail. The restaurant had clean restrooms. The view of the glaciers is amazing. Another import thing to know is the hike to the gondola isn’t easy and somewhat intimidating. My friends and I hiked to it and we saw a lot of inexperienced hikers struggling. If you plan on hiking to Alpspitz ensure you have plenty of water and food.

The Landskron Brewery is kind of off the normal tourist trail for Americans, but once I contacted the marketing department to inform them we would like to have a tour they could not have been more accommodating. The brewery is about a 10-15 minute walk from the Goerlitz train station and easy to find. Our tour including a visit to the modern visitors' center (all displays are German/English), then we had a guided tour of the production/storage facilities in the historic buildings conducted by a great guy named Ulrich (with my baby German I could understand about 40%), but hey, besides the history we are also there to sample the beer. Our tour included a buffet lunch with open tap afterwards which was a real treat (the Kellermeister Tour). Give yourself 2-3 hours for the total experience. It is worth it.

At nearly 10,000 feet, Germany's highest peak is a popular ski area during the winter and a challenging hiking trail during the rest of the year.
Reviewed By monideepad - Bangalore District, India
My son and I were visiting my sister and family at Erlangen. We planned a day-trip to Zugspitze. So, it was my sister, brother-in-law, niece,nephew, my son and me. We were joined by my sister’s friend, her husband and daughter... We took the train from Erlangen to Nürnberg as early as 7am. We then took the train from Nürnberg to München and changed to another train from München to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. After that, we took the cogwheel train from Zugspitzbahnhof to Gletscherbahnhof located at the height of 2,588 metres above sea level. We walked to the south part of the mountain which is the Zugsitzplatt, a high ‘karst’ (formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone) plateau with many caves. Three glaciers, the two largest in Germany namely, Northern Schneeferner and Höllentalferner and the third namely, Southern Schneeferner lie on the flanks of Zugspitze. The highest mountain in Germany, Zugspitze was named after the “Zugbahnen” or avalanche paths down the mountain’s notoriously steep north face and summit. Less than two weeks prior to this trip to Zugspitze in the German Alps, my husband, my son and I, had been to two more glaciers, Mt. Titlis and Glacier 3000 in the Swiss Alps. On both occasions, we had met bright, sunny weather. However, at Zugspitze, there was not the faintest sign of the sun. It felt very different and was indeed a welcome change to have good snowfall instead. It felt more like a Winter Wonderland than any other snow clad peak I have visited and I felt very close to Nature. We climbed as high up as the Church Maria Heimsuchung, which stands at the height of almost 3000 metres above sea level, defying sun, storm, wind and snow. I felt that this house of God, standing in solitude, like a sentinel in the vast expanse of snow, provides peace and protection to the skiers and winter sports enthusiasts during their visits to the glacier. On enquiring, I learnt that Catholic and Protestant Mass are celebrated on a regular basis depending on weather conditions. I felt deep reverence, not only for the Creator but also for this tiny little place of prayer as I stood high up in the snow clad mighty mountain with snow flakes falling all over us. The children had put in their snow suits and they paid no heed to the constant drizzle of snowflakes. They were busy swooping down on slides and toboggans; climbing up and sliding down again. We were constantly alert about making it back in time for the train, but we did not want to miss out on going to the Zugspitze summit. So, we made a dash for the Gletscherbahn cable car station from where cable cars runs every 10 minutes between the Zugspitz glacier and the summit. We barely had about 20 minutes to spend at the summit in order to be able to catch the last cable car down. So we rushed out being careful to remain on the German side It is said that on a clear day, four countries : Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland can be seen from the Zugspitze. However, standing in the Zugspitze platform that offered a 360 degrees view, we looked north, south, east and west; but it was too foggy and musty and there coupled with snowfall, the view was totally obscured and we could see nothing beyond a couple of metres. The only regret I felt was that we could not spot the famous golden summit cross. Given a chance, I would have loved taking a picture standing by its side. For our return, we took the aerial tram right upto Garmisch-Partenkirchen and trains to München, Nürnberg and Erlangen respectively.

I visited Europa Park for the first time on Tuesday 14th-Wednesday 15th March with my Girlfriend and our friend. I’ve been lucky enough to get to a few major theme parks such as Disneyland Paris, Portaventura in Salou & the Florida theme parks and I can say 100% this is the best theme park I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. We arrived by car about half an hour after park opening and managed to get parked without any hassle. There is a bag check area before you reach the turnstiles however this took very little time to pass through. Our friend hadn’t pre purchased a ticket and thus had to get one on the gate, this cost no more than buying in advance and again took minimal time. The entrance plaza is well laid out with several ticket kiosks in operation. I would however recommend getting there earlier & buying in advance on a weekend as I’m sure it will be much busier than when we went in midweek! Once inside the theming is unbelievably well done and you could easily spend a full day walking around from country to country taking in all the little details. Food & Drink is more reasonably priced than most other parks I’ve visited (a beer only costs around 3€ which is great for the adults!). Most staff speak English however a nice touch is that the staff have the flags of the languages they speak on their nametags which is very helpful. The park is even dog friendly and we saw many people walking their dogs which I’ve never seen in any other theme park. The ride lineup is brilliant with something for all ages, from big rollercoasters such as Wodan (our personal favourite), Silver Star & Blue Fire, to a fantastic selection of several water rides, to a vast lineup of other rides, of which the standouts were the ghost train Geisterschloss (not one for those who scare easy), Voletarium (one of the most impressive simulators out there) & the amazing Arthur (do not miss this one!). There are also several walk through attractions (a real hidden gem was the lazer obstacle course next to the train station in the England area) and some spectacular play areas & slides which made us all wish we were still kids so we could have a go! Although the park wasn’t exactly bursting at full capacity due to the fact it was a weekday we were still heavily impressed with how quickly the staff get the queues moving, we only waited about 5-10 minutes for the biggest rides on the first day which was amazing & although the second day was far busier the wait times rarely exceeded 15-20 minutes. The park does not operate any kind of fastpass system which definitely helps get the main queues moving quicker. The queues themselves are for the most part very detailed similar to those at Disney & Universal parks with plenty to look at to pass the time if it is a long wait. Overall its just an amazing place full of passionate people who seem to actually care about the guest experience and don’t just see you as a walking wallet unlike most other major theme parks. We will definitely be back to see the waterpark once it opens as if it’s even half as good they’ll be on to a winner!

Would recommend the walk from Thale to Treseburg about 3 hours. Beautiful scenery - waterfalls, rockpools, tree tops, mountains and valleys and high views. No scrambling and down rocks, easy to follow. The place for a beer at the end in Treseburg is up on the hill as you enter. It was excellent. Food and prices were great. We were tempted to stay for dinner but had other plans. You can catch the bus back from Tresesburg to Thale on the free Harz tourist ticket. All in all a great day.
