Haus der Berge

This popular information center and educational museum in the heart of Berchtesgaden, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, brings the surrounding national park to life for children and adults alike. The interactive exhibition focuses on the wildlife and diverse nature to be found in Germany's only Alpine national park, divided into four main habitats: water, forest, alpine pasture, and rock. There's also a library, a cinema, and a restaurant with mountain views, making it a great rainy-day option for families.
