Berchtesgaden in Bavaria

°

Why does one travel to Berchtesgaden in Bavaria in winter?
Oderazzi traveled to Bavaria because good friends
from Finland traveled to Bavaria as well. So simple.


Such fun meeting friends who happen to have relatives
hosting a holiday home in the historical district.

This blue house is called Burmesterhaus.

Burmesterhaus features various types of holiday apartments from 
modern penthouse studios to spacious three-room apartments for 
your holiday. All apartments are equipped with new kitchens or 
kitchenettes and bathrooms. In addition, the house offers some 
shared facilities for guests. 



At the latest when you enter the kitchen area of your apartment
 you are sure that this house has Finnish owners: 
scissors by FISKARS.
You probably know the Fiskars scissors with orange colour.
This light pink edition was produced a few years ago
for a breast cancer campaign "Roosa nauha". 

The orange-handled scissors are one of Fiskars’ best known products. 
But how was it decided to make the handles of the scissors orange? 
In 1967 when the first basic models were about to be manufactured 
the designer wanted the scissors to be black, red or green. 
As the prototype went into production, the machinist decided to finish 
off the orange color he had in his machine. This meant prototypes were 
made in four different colors, of which the orange and black were most popular. 
A choice had to be made. An internal vote was taken at Fiskars, 
and the result gave birth to Fiskars orange-handled scissors.



When you walk from the Burmesterhaus towards the 
center of the village, admire all those beautiful, old buildings.


Stiftskirche Berchtesgaden & Berchtesgaden Royal Castle.


The Deer Museum 
with the collection of Duke Albrecht of Bavaria (1905-1996) 
has found its home in the stables of Berchtesgaden Castle. The skulls of 
altogether 1290 bucks, does and fawns and 3.425 antlers, mostly from the 
Weichselboden area in Styria, are all kept in the Deer Museum and a new 
concept has been applied to their presentation. That makes the collection 
accessible to the public and it is also available for scientific research.



This winter has been mild. Reminds me of Helsinki.


Der Weg der Seligpreisungen, one of the numerous hiking paths.


Hirschenhaus at the market square.


Just one of the decorated houses.


Very charming.


Yes, this area is very, very catholic.


Jesus on show almost everywhere. This is not a church.


Luckily enough also these fantastic signs are decorating house facades.


British design and all kinds of other cool products can be
found in the small shops around the town, you just have
to walk around with open eyes.
