8 tips for trips in Berchtesgaden

When you say Berchtesgaden, everyone automatically thinks of Lake Königsee and Hitler's Eagle's Nest above it. And that's exactly what you won't read about here now :) Please take a look at the second article here.  However, here I would like to talk about other excursions you can do in Berchtesgaden. And there is no lack of them!

The charming town of Hallstatt

I recommend a visit to this village to absolutely everyone at least once in their lifetime, and not only because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located in the Austrian region called the Salzkammergut, so there is no problem with accessibility from the Czech Republic. After a few hours by car, you can admire the stunning old wooden houses, take a boat ride on Lake Hallstatt or take a tour of the oldest salt mines in the world. In short, there is quite a lot to see for such a small town :)

10 tips for trips in the Salzkammergut

The Salzkammergut region is a part of Austria where you can go for a week or two every year and still not get tired of it. There's still plenty to discover and the views of the stunning blue lakes just don't become boring.

My dream come true - Caminito del Rey

This is exactly the kind of thing where you come across a photo online and you absolutely need to go to that place! I just want to go there and there's no train going through it. Caminito del Rey fascinated me. It represented just the right and bearable dose of adrenaline.

Malta: complete practical info

European seaside destinations are always a bit of a lottery in the off-season, weather-wise. But no one can guarantee sunny days during your visit, even in July, right? Personally, I'm always prepared for the worst case scenario => it's going to piss and piss and piss and the alternative plan becomes sitting around cafes dashing to the bar in the hotel lobby. Fortunately, that didn't happen in the case of the Malta trip... maybe only partially :) 

Anyway, when a bad weather situation happens in January, when you pay €28 for a return ticket (Ryanair from Nuremberg), it definitely doesn't hurt as much as in the high season, when the ticket costs half of your salary and you are squeezed in a crowd of equally overwhelmed tourists at the aforementioned bar.
