This is the visitor centre for Berchtesgaden National Park, our humble German counterpart of Yellowstone 😉
According to Alexander von Humboldt (in his biased opinion, as he was German) one of the most beautiful places of the earth. Not the visitor center of course (price-worthy as it might be, you choose the category), but the landscape around Königssee, only some kilometres away from Berchtesgaden.
Why is that place compared to Yellowstone?
The landscape of Königssee and the surrounding mountains is just gorgeous, Chris, and behind the extension of Königssee is the Röthbachfall, Germany’s highest cascade. So it certainly deserves being a national park, where we try our best to keep a natural balance intact.
