The distillery “Grassl” (Grassl Distillery) has existed since the 17th century — then the owner of the land began to make schnapps from the local Alpine gentian grass and the purest mountain water. The process was laborious, but the spicy drink sold well. The owner has obtained the rights to exclusive extraction of gentian root.
Obersalzberg Documentation Center
The Obersalzberg Documentation Center is a museum of the history of Nazism.

First, Hitler bought and rebuilt a house in Obersalzberg, then Goering and Bormann settled nearby.

Berchtesgaden Salt Mines
