Description

Nationalpark Berchtesgaden covers an area of approximately 210 square kilometers. It is characterized by its mountainous terrain, with the eastern, southern, and western boundaries coinciding with the state border between Germany and Austria. The national park has rugged cliffs, forests and wild torrents, as well as green pastures and idyllic valleys. There are beautiful places for observing alpine birds. Aigle royal is a characteristic species of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Four pairs regularly breed in the protected area. Since 2021, young Gypaète barbu have been released annually. As a bark beetle specialist, the Pic tridactyle reaches high population sizes in the National Park. Other rare woodpecker species like Torcol fourmilier, Pic cendré and Pic à dos blanc can also be found.

Grand Tétras and Gélinotte des bois also benefit from the high structural richness in the forests of the National Park. In the area of the upper timberline in the mountain pine fields and alpine grasslands as well as on alpine pastures, the Tétras lyre is regularly found. The Merle à plastron also nests here. In the rocky areas you can find Lagopède alpin and Tichodrome échelette.

Among the other birds you can observe in the area are Hirondelle de rochers, Chocard à bec jaune, Cassenoix moucheté, Chouette de Tengmalm, Chevêchette d'Europe, Cincle plongeur and Accenteur alpin. Alpine animals such as chamois, ibex and marmots can also be observed.

260 kilometers of hiking trails and alpine paths open up the national park - from barrier-free circular hikes to high-alpine summit ascents. The national park also offers guided tours to special bird species (see the link below).
