Berchtesgaden Alps Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in Berchtesgadener Land, Germany.
The reserve spans 840 square kilometers across southeastern Bavaria, encompassing mountains, forests, valleys, lakes, and rivers in the German Alps.
UNESCO recognized this protected area in 1990, making it the first alpine biosphere reserve in Germany with distinct core, buffer, and development zones.
Eight original municipalities preserve traditional mountain agriculture methods while practicing sustainable resource management across the protected landscapes.
Visitors access multiple information centers throughout the fifteen communities to learn about conservation initiatives and participate in environmental education programs.
The reserve expanded in 2010 to include the entire Berchtesgadener Land district, connecting Alpine ecosystems with their surrounding foothills.
