This place is terrific. There were seven of us so we booked four rooms. We had a whole floor to ourselves(it's a small place) which was nice because we had a terrace just for our use. We could sit outside in the evening looking at the Alps and in particular Hitler's Eagle's Nest perched on one of them, while talking about the day's events. The rooms are very nice, clean and modern and the staff very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast buffet was excellent as was the food at the restaurant. It has a really nice terrace which is open for supper. It's obviously very popular with the locals, because it was busy every evening we were there, understandably so because the food is so good!

Another good thing about this place is that at the reception office you can pay for and schedule a bus to pick you up right outside the hotel to take you to different tourist sites in the area. We did this to go to Salzburg. It was 10 Euros/person, round trip.

The hotel also has a washer and dryer for customers. It's handy but be warned the cost is 5 Euros to wash a load and 7 Euros to dry a load.

Across the road is a really nice, wide path along the beautiful mountain stream that runs through that area. It 's a great place to take an evening walk after a fabulous meal at the hotel restaurant.

We're very happy we stayed here.

I traveled to Germany with my parents, my husband and 2 kids (5 and 11).
We stayed in apartments 7 and 8. Apt. 7 was a standard hotel room with a kitchenette. Apt. 8 was a small 1-BR apt. with a kitchenette as well. The rooms were very clean. They were connecting rooms on the 3rd floor (no elevator). There was a washer and dryer downstairs with instructions in German---I figured it out somehow. The apartments are self-catering--there is no maid service and although there were linens and toilet paper, you have to bring your own soap, shampoo, dish soap, etc. Fortunately, there was a grocery store about a block away where we could buy milk, fresh bread, cold cuts, fruit, etc. The restuarant, Gebirgshausl, was wonderful. We ate there several times--the food is fresh and prepared to perfection. From this location we made day trips to the salt mines, Salzburg, cruise on Lake Konigsee and the Watzmann Therme (fun for adults and kids). The owners take a lot of pride in what they do. It was a pleasure staying there.

We found the food here the best we have ever had in Germany and, anywhere else for that matter. Ramsauer is quaint and beautiful. The hospitality here is very friendly and warm and the staff is first rate. We will come back the Lord willing.

We rented vacation apartments number 10 and 11 at the Hollereben during spring break 2004. The apartments were immaculate, the beds comfortable, and the location was great. Although out in the country, it was just a short drive to Berchtesgaden and the Königssee. The Chiemsee Lake is within an hour's drive. Our hosts, the Wegscheiders were wonderful people. We ate at the restaurant at the hotel every night, as well as having breakfast there every morning because the food was so good. Due to an emergency, one of our travelers had to go to the hospital, and the Wegscheiders helped us find a doctor in town and helped us with many details. There used to be a large American military presence in the Berchtesgadener Land, and everyone was more than helpful. Check out their webpage (in German and English) at -------------------
