Berching (Bavarian: Bacham) is a town in the district of Neumarkt in Bavaria, Germany.

Berching is a historical town with a fully preserved town wall and low streamlet. The first settlement was registered in 883, so it is more than 1100 years old. Berching is located in 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 the Blaue Traube is also located in the town center.
