Berching (German pronunciation: [ˈbɛʁçɪŋ] Audio file "De-Berching.ogg" not found; Bavarian: Bacham) is a town in the district of Neumarkt in Bavaria, Germany. It is today one of only four towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls, along with Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Nördlingen and Dinkelsbühl, all in Bavaria.
Berching is a historical town with a fully preserved town wall and low streamlet. The first settlement was registered in 883, making it more than 1100 years old. Berching is located in the district of Neumarkt in Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, 20 km south of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. The old town or Altstadt is surrounded by a large wall interspaced with towers. One of the towers has been converted into a 6-story apartment. A small inn called Blaue Traube is located in the town center.
