In the Berchtesgadener Land nature and culture find a flowing transition and inspire old and young.

Almost completely surrounded by the Berchtesgaden Alps, the region lies in the southeast of Bavaria. The Berchtesgadener Land is like a peninsula surrounded by the Austrian border. The most important places are Bad Reichenhall, Schönau am Königssee and Berchtesgaden itself.
