About Berchtesgaden
Berchtesgaden is an Alpine town in Bavaria's far south-east, set among steep peaks beside the deep green Königssee, with a long salt-mining history.
Berchtesgaden lies in a high valley of the Bavarian Alps, ringed by the peaks of the Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany's only alpine national park. Its wealth came from salt, mined here since the Middle Ages, and visitors can still ride a miners' train into the salt mine and cross an underground lake on a raft. The old town centres on a former monastery, later a royal palace of the Bavarian Wittelsbach family.
