The Inn at Montchanin Village, Wilmington, Delaware 1-800-COW-BIRD. Berchtesgaden travel guide. St. Bartolomä Church, on the Königsee near Berchtesgaden Berchtesgaden [1] is a small, picturesque and historic town (population 9,000) located in the southeast of the German state of Bavaria, within a small enclave surrounded on three sides by the Austrian border. The town lies some 30 km south of the Austrian city of Salzburg and some 180 km south-east of Munich.
The basics[edit] The town is located in a valley at 500 to 1100 m altitude in the south-eastern part of the German Alps and is surrounded by high mountains called Untersberg in the North, Obersalzberg in the east and further south by the Watzmann. In more recent history, the name of Berchtesgaden became well known to the general public for more unfortunate reasons: the Nazi dictator of Germany, Adolf Hitler, had his summer getaway on the peak in a complex of buildings known as the Berghof at Obersalzberg. Berchtesgaden has its fair share of tourism all around the year, and has retained its original charming character.
