Final Impressions Berchtesgaden NP

Well, we're done here. Time for the final wrap up. This area is incredibly beautiful, and we wished we had more time to spend. There are two gorges to hike, the salt mine, other small towns, a hike along part of the lake, not to mention the Jennerbahn which takes you up to the top of the mountain where there's skiing in the winter. Definitely would like to come back to the area, though maybe having a car would have been better. Jury's still out on that.

Tomorrow, we leave for Munich, having a transitional day before we head down to Mittenwald. Berchtesgaden, as I mentioned, was a late addition to our trip, as was flying into Salzburg. We're both glad we did it.

The place we stayed was very nice, Pension Möslerlehen. Breakfast was good, except the liverwurst, but I should have known better. I never liked it before, no reason for me to like it now. The location was a bit out of the way, but that's what we wanted. Very peaceful, nice landlord, and we managed to communicate even though she only spoke slightly more English than I did German. Cash only, as many places in the countryside are.

So just a few pictures of the general surroundings, our in room picnic including some good Grassl liquor, and a sort of dark picture of the crowns the cows wear on their heads when they come home from the high fields. However, they only wear them if the season is good, and no animals are injured or killed.

Ade Berchtesgadenland!Läs mer
