Berchtesgaden is a municipality in the German Bavarian Alps. To the south of the city the Berchtesgaden National Park stretches along three parallel valleys. Berchtesgaden is often associated with the Watzmann, at 2,713 m the third-highest mountain in Germany, which is renowned in the rock climbing community for its Ostwand (East Face), and a deep glacial lake by the name of Königssee (5.2 km²). Another notable peak is the Kehlstein mountain (1,835 m) with its Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest), which offers spectacular views to its visitors.

I couldn't be more happier and satisfied with the service your company provided in planning our trip and making the process so user friendly and intuitive. All the hotels were in prime locations and close to all the attractions we wanted to visit. You saved us months of planning and research if we were to do it by ourselves. I've been telling all my friends and family about the website. Thank you and congrats on a wonderful service and a great product!!

Your website was a revelation! Our holiday organizing would not have been possible without it! The minute I found the site and starting navigating it I was telling everyone about it. I played around with it for about 3 months before we actually booked our holiday in February 2016. It was amazing to see the distance and time between each destination and the routes we could take. Then going onto the hotel booking section was very easy. Your team were great when we were missing a confirmation email as well. We had an amazing trip and I would recommend to anyone travelling around instead of lying on a beach for 2 weeks. We also got engaged while we were in Rome, so it was the perfect holiday!!
