Forty years old in 2018, the wilds of this 210-sq-km park still offer some of the best hiking in Germany. A good introduction is a 2km trail up from St Bartholomä beside the °Ã¶²Ô¾±²µ²õ²õ±ð±ð to the notorious Watzmann-Ostwand, where scores of mountaineers have met their deaths. Another popular hike goes from the southern end of the °Ã¶²Ô¾±²µ²õ²õ±ð±ð to the Obersee.
For details of routes visit the national park office, or buy a copy of the Berchtesgadener Land (sheet 794) map in the Kompass series, available across Germany or online.
