Summer holidays with children in Berchtesgaden - tips for the whole family
5 tips for your family summer
#1. The perfect way to cool down
Summer vacation and swimming fun simply go hand in hand! In Berchtesgaden, there are great swimming opportunities for you to discover as a family. The Schornbad is centrally located in Schongau and is just a 3-minute walk from the Explorer Hotel Berchtesgaden.
The Aschauerweiher natural swimming pool (14 minutes by car) is a real insider tip! A toddler pool, water fountain, suspension bridge, children's slide, and diving rocks – that sounds like a perfect family day!
And if the weather doesn't cooperate? Then head to the Watzmann Therme (9 minutes by car). With a water surface area of 900 m², it offers swimming fun and relaxation for the whole family!
# 2. Discover the mountains together
If you're vacationing in Berchtesgadener Land with children, a visit to the national park is a must. It's a true discovery experience for the kids: moss-covered rocks, suspension bridges, waterfalls, and small streams – there's so much to see and explore.
Explorer Tip: The Malerwinkel Circular Trail family hike takes you to Berchtesgaden National Park. First, grab some refreshments at the breakfast buffet, and then the hike can begin!
| Duration: 1.5 hours | Refreshments: Café Malerwinkel | Start: Right at the hotel |
#3. Aaaand action!
Tobogganing and winter, that makes sense. But on your family vacation in Berchtesgaden, a tobogganing experience awaits you in the summer! The Obersalzberg summer toboggan run is 600 meters long and provides you with an action-packed family outing -
fantastic views of the mountain scenery are included!
P.S. You can set your own speed on this summer toboggan run in Berchtesgaden.

#4. For those in need of knowledge
Don't worry, your kids don't have to stay in school during the summer holidays. In Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany's only Alpine national park, there's an information center called Haus der Berge. With a cinema and changing exhibitions, there's plenty to discover. Seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and understanding nature – that's the motto here. Grab a snack at the restaurant along the way, and off you go!

Last but not least:
#5. Water Adventure
The Almbach Gorge is located in Marktschellenberg. This family outing in Berchtesgaden is a must for your summer vacation.
Did you know? The gorge is one of the longest and most beautiful gorges in Bavaria. It's also home to Germany's last remaining ball mill. A beautiful hiking trail leads through the gorge itself. The shorter version to the Sulzer Waterfall takes about 2 hours.
