Berchtesgaden

Western Europe

Berchtesgaden is a municipality in the district of Berchtesgadener Land, in Bavaria, in southeastern Germany, close to the border with Austria. It lies about 30 km (19 miles) south of Salzburg and 180 km (110 miles) southeast of Munich, at an elevation of around 700 metres in the Berchtesgaden Alps. South of the town, the Berchtesgaden National Park stretches along three parallel valleys. The Kehlstein mountain, which rises to 1,835 metres (6,020 feet), carries the Kehlsteinhaus, known in English as the Eagle's Nest, and stands in the surrounding area.
