Berchtesgaden and the surrounding Berchtesgadener Land are prime German holiday destinations, in summer as well as in winter. The small Alpine village (pop. 8500) lies at the foot of the "Watzmann", Germany's second highest peak. The Berchtesgaden National Park protects the stunning, emerald-green "Kšnigssee" with the famous St. BartholomŠ Chapel.
