Berchtesgaden: A holiday house at the foot of Watzmanns
With Berchtesgaden claiming the winners spot in the category best German holiday resort the prize has for the first time gone up to the Bavarian mountains. Situated in the Bavarian Alps in close proximity to Königssee and the Watzmann towering above it Berchtesgaden replaced the Baltic Sea resorts Binz and Zingst as prize winners for best holiday resort. As a travel destination that is equally popular in summer and winter Berchtesgaden convinced customers not only with the beautiful Alpine landscape but also with the numerous recreational activities available in and around the area. Actually the salt mine, the Watzmanntherme or the pretty historical town centre with shops provide an array of options that nobody will be bored. Beyond this the nature of the Berchtesgadener Land will enchant you.
