Berchtsgarden & the "Hill"

Down about Berchtsgarden, on the backside of the town, you've got the lift that would take you to the Eagle's Nest.

For this time of year, this is an interesting place to hang out. There's a lift at the bottom which will take you to the top.

I've been there twice, and my favorite of the trip is always the scenic points along the lift.

Up and down this mountain, there's cabins and trails. A guy can rent one and smell clear mountain air. It's fairly cool at night....even in July and August. You arise to see this great view in the morning. And there's virtually no crime.
A guy could be addicted to something like this....but then by October, there's snow falling and by November, there's probably three feet of snow which doesn't melt until March or April.

The interesting thing about this trip is that you can ride to the top, and then do the 4-hour walk down the mountain.

So if you are in the region, and have half a day to just chill out, then check out Berchtsgarden.
