Cham

Cham straddles the Regen River in Bavaria’s Upper Palatinate, and its position on routes toward Bohemia helped establish it as a regional market centre. Set between the Bavarian Forest and the Upper Palatinate Forest, the town belongs to a borderland shaped by wooded uplands and river valleys. The Marktplatz remains Cham’s civic focus, while the parish church of St James and the Cordonhaus, a former merchant’s house with an ornate Rococo façade, recall its urban traditions. Local life is firmly Bavarian, yet the Czech frontier is close enough to have long influenced trade and travel.
