4-star apartment in the National Park Berchtesgaden

Even though the road up was a bit steep and winding, the place itself was very spacious and clean and had everything you needed for a great stay. The owners are wonderful people and are helping with any questions or problems you might have. I would definitely stay there again.

All of the highlights of Alpine living are at your doorstep! So many good things to say! Everything was high quality: the furniture, the kitchen, the beds, the vacuum. It was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were large. There were superb hiking trails in both directions. The owners both speak English very well, and they were very kind and thoughtful. They got us English information fliers from the sights to see in the area! The location is so perfect because there was so much to do and see in under a half hour car ride. The bus station that takes you to Hitler's Eagle's nest is within walking distance, but closed until mid-May. There is no other way up there. One small thing to note is that if you need to do laundry, plan to do it when you have time to let it dry in the drying room overnight.

Since we have 3 children under the age of 5, we prepared our meals there. The kids loved the swing set, slide, sand box, small toy car and big container of legos. You can see most of the play area from the kitchen. We could not find a baking dish, so we made brownies in the fondue pot! ha! There was no microwave, but there was a deli style meat slicer!

We stayed a week and recommend the following day trips:

1. Lake Hintersee. We hiked around the lake, took a paddle boat ride on the lake, and had a picnic all while enjoying the gorgeous views and only a handful of other people!

2. Salzbergwerk/Salt Mine. 2 train rides, 2 slides, 1 boat ride all underground! There were English audio guides.

3. The Königssee lake/boatride to Church of St. Bartholomä (hike to the ice cave if you can!)

4. Hellbrunn Palace/Gardens with Sound of Music Pavillion/playground with zipline/Hellbrunn Zoo

5. The panoramastrasse (the entrance is within sight of the house) where you can drive on the mountain ridge and see Austria on one side and Germany on the other! It costs 8 Euro per car. Absolutely stunning! There was snow mid-April.

6. Mondsee Lake/St. Michael's Church (Church where Maria from Sound of Music got married). There was a nice playground near the lake and ducks and swans and hiking trails.

Wir, das sind drei Frauen in den Sechzigern ,haben uns in dieser Ferienwohnung 7 Tage sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war alles bestens eingerichtet. Die Bushaltestelle liegt direkt vor dem Haus. Wanderungen sind von überall aus möglich.

Die Eheleute Spies sind sehr freundliche Vermieter und sehr hilfsbereit. Für jedes Anliegen bemühen sie dich um eine Lösung. Wir empfehlen diese Ferienwohnung sehr gerne weiter und würden selbst immer wieder gerne herkommen.

So eine perfekt ausgestattete Wohnung, umwerfende Lage und nette Vermieter hatten wir nie!
