The best running trails around Schellenberger Forst

The Gasthof Adam-Bräu is a true Bavarian classic 🍻🏰 – located right in the middle of the village. Bavarian coziness is paramount here, and has been for many years.

This restaurant is highly recommended!!! 100 stars for the food, service, and friendliness. Here, staff shortages (June 2026) seem to be a foreign word. Even in the evening during peak hours, the ordered food and drinks were served so quickly that it felt like a waiting time of about 5 minutes. For musical entertainment on a Friday evening, there was also provision, so that as a tourist, you could truly experience Bavarian flair. Simply wonderful!!! Since the weather was good, we could sit outside and had a direct view of the Jenner, with the paragliders doing their rounds there.

The Augustinian Canons' Collegiate Church was first documented in 1102 and elevated to the Prince-Provostry of Berchtesgaden in the 16th century. After secularization, the monastery building became the hunting and summer residence of the Wittelsbachs, while the collegiate church was used by the parish as its main church. The History of the Berchtesgaden Collegiate Church Old travel reports state: … "the area extends more in height than in width …". Apart from the valley plain leading from Salzburg to Berchtesgaden, the municipality is surrounded by the Berchtesgaden Alps at various altitudes. The former Augustinian monastery with its house of God also towers prominently into the sky. From afar, the early Gothic choir with its high, narrow windows can be seen in the east. The adjoining lower nave extends westward to the double-tower facade. Towers and facade repeatedly fell victim to lightning strikes and fires. Today, the viewer is faced with a Neo-Romanesque facade from the 19th century. The monastery was founded around 1116/19. It was built on the site where research suspects a small wooden church or chapel existed even before the 10th century. In the first half of the 12th century, the minster was erected as an emergency structure by Provost Eberwin. According to an inscription from 1122, the Archbishop of Salzburg, Konrad, is said to have consecrated a first construction phase. In the second half of the 12th century, a three-aisled Romanesque pillar basilica and probably the first towers were built. As part of the collegiate monastery, the church was expanded in the mid-13th century with a cloister, a porch, and two towers. Around the turn of the 13th to the 14th century, Gothic additions began in the following centuries with Provost Johann Sax von Saxenau and the design of a new choir in the early Gothic style. Since 1803, it has served as the parish church of the Roman Catholic parish of St. Andreas. Source: https://www.berchtesgaden.de/pois/stiftskirche-berchtesgaden

Built from the beginning of the 12th century, it was used until secularization as the collegiate church of the Augustinian canons within the shortly before founded monastery of Berchtesgaden (from 1559 Prince-Provostry). Since 1803, it has served as the parish church for the Roman Catholic parish of St. Andreas in Berchtesgaden, which belongs to the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising in Bavaria.

The Bier Adam in the heart of the market, the historic center of Berchtesgaden, is the oldest beer tavern in the Berchtesgadener Land – this is documented. Since 1546, people have come here to drink beer, although wine was more commonly enjoyed at that time. The princely Berchtesgaden Abbey had considerable vineyards in Lower Austria around Krems and Klosterneuburg since ancient times. Until the mid-17th century, the then so-called Pierhaus (beer tavern) was therefore a rarity, which enjoyed increasing popularity over the years. The Bier Adam has borne its current name since 1695, when Adam Haslinger became the landlord of the Pierhaus am Egg.

The Schlossplatz in the heart of Berchtesgaden is located between the Royal Palace, the Collegiate Church of St. Peter and John, and some outbuildings of the palace area.

The parish church of St. Andreas is, strictly speaking, the former parish church of Berchtesgaden. Because with secularization, the parish rights passed to the collegiate church of St. Peter and John. Nevertheless, a magnificent building worth seeing with artistic furnishings!
