If you are looking for a winter holiday for non-skiers, Germany’s Berchtesgaden National Park, close to the border with Austria, is an excellent choice. We have chosen the village of
Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden not only for its beauty and sense of tradition, but also because it is well placed for exploring – you can take a boat trip across nearby Königssee, and discover towns of frescoed houses. Also in Bavaria, but further west,
Hopfen-am-See is an equally superb choice, offering the chance to visit King Ludwig II's castles: Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.
