Current 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).

Abandoned alpine pastures

According to the National Park Plan, the Berchtesgaden National Park has the task of observing the development in formerly anthropogenically influenced ecosystems - such as the habitat of abandoned alpine pastures.
