Berchtesgaden National Park hosts summer youth programs

More than 200 children and adolescents participated in a summer holiday program at Berchtesgaden National Park. The program consisted of 14 fully booked events designed to engage youth with the local environment.

Key activities included a traditional hike to Funtensee in cooperation with the Berchtesgaden section of the German Alpine Club, where 16 participants spent three days under professional supervision. Other educational offerings included a butterfly workshop at the Haus der Berge national park center and a video workshop where participants created micro-animated films.

The program was funded by the Dr. Heinz and Maria Loewe Foundation, and plans are in place to continue the initiative in the summer of 2027.
