Nationalparkzentrum - Haus der Berge

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!

Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald

Entlang der bayerisch tschechischen Grenze erstreckt sich zwischen Bayerisch Eisenstein im Landkreis Regen und Mauth im Landkreis Freyung-Grafenau der Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald. Am 7. Oktober 1970 wurde das Großschutzgebiet als erster Nationalparks Deutschlands eröffnet. Zusammen mit dem Nachbar-Nationalpark Šumava in Tschechien bildet er das größte zusammenhängende Waldschutzgebiet Mitteleuropas. Auf mehr als 24 000 Hektar gilt im Bayerischen Wald der Leitsatz „Natur Natur sein lassen“.Mit den Nationalparkzentren Lusen bei Neuschönau und Falkenstein bei Ludwigsthal bietet der Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald allen Besuchern einen spannenden Start in das Schutzgebiet. An beiden Orten lädt ein Informationsgebäude zum Erkunden ein. Außerdem ist jedem Nationalparkzentrum ein Tier-Freigelände angeschlossen, das einen Einblick in die ursprüngliche Tierwelt des Bayerwaldes gibt. Darüber hinaus bietet das Waldgeschichtliche Museum St. Oswald einen interessanten Einblick.

Harz National Park

Reviewed By madril2018 - Sneek, The Netherlands

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.
