Dachau is basically a suburb of Munich. Berchtesgaden is where the Eagle's Nest was. I really like the townSoupNazi2001 said:
Anyone ever been? I have a lot of places I want to see like Dachau, Eagle's Nest, some of Ludwig's castles, some hikes and Alpine lakes. Curious of any favorite small villages to base out of for day trips. Mittenwald, Fussen and Garmisch are in the running. I don't want bigger cities so Munich and Salzburg are out.
quite a bit. It is basically right next to Salzburg. Chiemsee is a region that I like quite a bit. There are two
castles there from the crazy prince, Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee. You can hike around Berchtesgaden
and Fussen. There is a lake next to Fussen that is quite good. Garmisch is OK, but I didn't find it so special.
I have not been to Mittenwald, but there are mountains there. Probably, there are good hikes.
