A market town in the south-east corner of Bavaria enclosed by the dramatic peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps, it serves as the main gateway to Berchtesgaden National Park and the Königssee. The historic town centre includes a Collegiate Church and the former Augustinian monastery, now a royal palace. The region's salt-mining heritage, dating back to the 12th century, is preserved at the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine, which operates guided underground tours.
