Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden: Hintersee
Hintersee is best known in Bavaria for being a mountain lake beneath the Hochkalter massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps. It lies in the Ramsau valley, west of Berchtesgaden and near the Austrian border, where wooded slopes and limestone mountains define its compact shoreline. A walking path follows parts of the water and links it with the Zauberwald, a forest shaped by a major rockfall in 1719. The lake and its mountain setting attracted landscape painters in the 19th century, giving Hintersee a lasting place in the artistic tradition of Berchtesgadener Land. Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden is a small Alpine municipality, whose parish church and farmsteads reflect the long-settled character of the valley around it.

Tucked beneath the Watzmann massif in the Berchtesgaden Alps, Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden is a place whose character is shaped by the Ramsauer Ache and its narrow alpine valley. Meadows, wooded slopes and steep mountain walls keep the settlement closely tied to its surroundings, while nearby Hintersee adds a calm mountain-lake counterpoint. St Sebastian’s Church, built in 1512, is Ramsau’s best-known landmark and a lasting symbol of the area’s Alpine Catholic heritage. The village also lies close to Berchtesgaden National Park, a protected highland landscape of forests, streams and rugged peaks.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
