Berchtesgadener Advent

The historic town center of Berchtesgaden forms the atmospheric backdrop for the Berchtesgaden Advent. The mighty Watzmann mountain towers over the town houses, the collegiate church and the royal castle and watches over the Berchtesgaden Advent. But not only the imposing mountain backdrop, but also the traditional customs, traditional craftsmanship and alpine folk music characterize the Berchtesgaden Advent and make it so unique in Bavaria.
