Best cave trails in Berchtesgaden National Park

Beautiful hike from Sankt Bartholomä to the Eiskapelle in the Berchtesgaden Alps, Bavaria.

On the one hand, this has to do with the enormous snow masses from winter and spring, but also with the spacious cavity in which the ice field is located - the ice chapel. In...
