Berchtesgaden’s Marktplatz is a compact Bavarian market town square anchored by the Loewenbrunnen fountain and the Hirschenhaus timber-framed building. The royal Wittelsbach castle stands adjacent. Berchtesgaden is a German town almost surrounded by Austrian territory, 25 km from Salzburg and under 1 hour by RVO bus, making it a natural day trip from the Austrian side. The Koenigssee and the Dokumentationszentrum Obersalzberg (covering the WWII Nazi history) are both within 10 minutes by car. Allow a full day to cover all three sites.
