    Description

    Am Fuße des Watzmanns mit herrlichem Alpenpanorama liegt Berchtesgaden im südöstlichsten Teil Oberbayerns und grenzt unmittelbar an das benachbarte Land Österreich.

    Berchtesgaden ist von einer 2000 -2700m hohen Gebirgskette umgeben, welche eine gewisse landschaftliche Abgeschlossenheit erzeugt.

    Daher ist auch Berchtesgaden von deutscher Seite aus nur über zwei Bundesstraßen, die B 305 (Deutsche Alpenstraße), über den Pass Schwarzbachwacht und die B 20 gemeinsam mit der Bahnlinie über den Pass Hallturm zu erreichen.

    Die Talöffnung nach Osten, die direkt in das flache Voralpenland führt, stößt dort an die Landesgrenze zu Salzburg.

    Über diesen einfacheren Zugang ist Berchtesgaden vom Salzburger Land aus über Marktschellenberg bequem zu erreichen.
