A spa town nobody abroad talks about, wedged between peaks on the Austrian border. We came for one night and stayed for two.

Day 2.Dag 2. Predigtstuhl by vintage cable car, ridge walk, Thumsee swim
Our tipsOnze tips
The 1928 Predigtstuhlbahn is the oldest original cable car in the world — go for the cabin alone
Thumsee over the crowded Königssee if you just want a swim
Base here for Berchtesgaden day trips; it's half the price
