After the tour of Eagle’s Nest, we stopped over at Berchtesgaden, a charming little town nestled in the German Bavarian Alps. Berchtesgaden is a stone’s throw from Eagle’s Nest. It is also closely located to Mount Watzmann, the third highest mountain in Germany, which is very popular among mountaineers. The town is very rich in salt deposits and most of its wealth comes from salt mines that have since become tourist attractions as well.

Sometimes, gems appear when you least expect it. 🙂
