During what I had hoped would be a November ski trip to Berchtesgaden in 1966 there was a big problem. No snow! So touring I went. This is only one of the tourist sites I caught along the way.

The Palace and pilgrimage church were founded by the Prince-Provosts of Berchtesgaden in 1134. The triple-concha design of the church dates back to 1697; the stucco-work is by the Salzburg master Joseph Schmidt. In the 18th century the summer and hunting palace was rebuilt, with older building sections incorporated. After Berchtesgaden became part of Bavaria in 1810, the palace became a hunting lodge for the Bavarian kings and was one of their favourite haunts. Since the Romantic period, the world-famous pilgrimage church, set against the Watzmann range, has been a source of inspiration for numerous landscape painters.

Lake Konigsee's landmark, the chapel of St. Bartholomew, can only be reached by boat. This world-famous church, originally dating back to the 12th cent., lies at the tip of a picturesque peninsula. Neighboring the chapel stands the former hunting lodge of Berchtesgaden's provosts and Bavaria's kings, today an idyllic location for an inn.

Camera: Nikon F2; lens 110mm Nikkor; Film: Kodachrome 25 ASA; 1/125 sec. f/8.

Hi Mr. Joe,
Impressive POV with these strong cliffs in background! The chapel gives a good sense of scale, here! The place seems so idyllic indeed with the deer grazing.
Excellent recovering of this old and interesting photo! Thanks for the useful note, too!
