  Progress in the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique has enabled first
sensitive observations of the innermost few 100 pc of the Milky Way in Very
High Energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma rays. Observations by the H.E.S.S. instrument
deliver the at date most precise data on this peculiar region, and provide an
interesting view onto the acceleration and propagation of energetic particles
near the Galactic Centre. Besides two point-like sources -- one coincident with
the supermassive black hole (SMBH) Sgr A* -- diffuse VHE emission has been
discovered within a 1 deg region around the centre. The current VHE gamma-ray
view of the region is reviewed, and possible counterparts of the gamma-ray
sources and the origin of the diffuse emission are discussed.
