Mountain‘s Call
High Holiday Season Around Hitler‘s Eagle‘s Nest In Berchtesgaden
Holidays in Germany, hundred thousands of Germans, but also international guests from Japan or the US for example, follow the mountain‘s call to Berchtesgarden in the very south of Bavaria. Germany‘s most stunning nature resort, with its royal lake and illusive-romantic alpine atmosphere, but also long queues for the Jenner-Seilbahn and the vestiges of the Nazi‘s summer residence in Obersalzberg.
But the Lederhosen- and Dirndl- idyll is cracking: Tourism numbers are declining and the citizens are debating, whether less might be more or whether it wouldn‘t be a smart move to target outdoor and adventure tourists instead of nature purists. Nevertheless, the mountain range still attracts nature lovers and seekers of the silence and solitude with its hiking paths and on the top of the popular Jenner summit it can even get uncomfortably crowded.
