A thin Alpine light settles over Berchtesgaden as the private walk moves off the market square and up into quiet streets. The town breathes mountain air; slate roofs and painted facades give way to green meadows and sudden frames of the Watzmann massif. On a two-hour route a local guide leads a small party to carefully chosen viewpoints—Nonntal lanes, Kirchleitn Chapel and the brine-pipeline trail—where the Kehlsteinhaus and jagged ridgelines fill the lens.
