Berchtesgaden & Environs – Kinderhotel Post
Nice family trip to the salt mine
The region around Berchtesgaden offers you boundless variety during your holiday at the Hotel Post. Plan your excursion to the salt mine, to the Kehlsteinhaus, and be sure to ride the ferry or the scenic cable lift.
At the Berchtesgaden salt mine, you can embark on a journey into historic mine shafts. The mine has been in continuous operation since 1517, with today’s miners joined by numerous visitors. No wonder – with its Salt Cathedral, Salt Laboratory, Treasure Chamber, Mirror Lake and slides, it truly has so much to offer. The ride on the mine train, alone, taking you deep inside the mountain, is sure to fill your children with awe.
After a visit to the mine, you can head out into the mountain world which surrounds Berchtesgaden. The Predigtstuhlbahn is the oldest year-round cabin lift in the world. It has been doing its duty without incident since 1927. During your ride, the magical landscapes spread out beneath you. You eyes rest upon Salzburg City, magnificent mountain chains, shimmering lakes and also the peaks of the Saalach Valley.
Yet another excursion destination in the Berchtesgadener Land is the Kehlsteinhaus, also known as the Eagle’s Nest. This splendid building atop the Obersalzberg bears a historical burden, for it was originally conceived as a birthday gift for Adolf Hitler. Yet the Bavarian government continues to preserve this building as a grim reminder of the terrors of Nazi rule. The exposed setting of the Kehlstein and the Obersalzberg makes it possible for you to take in incomparable views during your visit, while extensive informational material describes the history of the building.
Lake Königssee, too, is a hot tip for your excursion to the Berchtesgadener Land. The amazing beauty of this mountain lake is an important reason why the Berchtesgaden National Park was created in the first place. Since as early as 1909, large electric boats have been sailing the lake, with the oldest of the current fleet dating back to 1920. During your trip to the Königssee, you can take a full cruise around the lake, or get off at one of the docking points along the shore and hike in the National Park.
