Completed projects

Research is one of the overriding goals in a national park. It contributes to a better understanding of processes in nature. From the findings of research, indications can be derived for a better protection of plants and animals as well as for a more nature-friendly use of landscapes outside the national park. The Berchtesgaden National Park thus has an impact far beyond its borders. We distinguish between research in the narrower sense and long-term environmental observation (monitoring).

Karst tests

Since 1997, the National Park, together with the Bavarian Geological Survey (GLA), has been marking karst waters on the National Park's mountain ridges.
