It depends on what you want to do there!
Driving is probably quicker. With a car you can bop down to the Koenigssee easily, otherwise you have to take a taxi or wait for one of the infrequent buses. It's also a lot easier to get to Hitler's eagles nest with a car.

No advantage driving if it's on a weekend or holiday, when you should avoid the A8 Autobahn (really the only way to get from Munich to Berchtesgarden) like the plague. Otherwise, you'll think you're in a parking lot, it gets so backed up.
Train travel is quite easy and scenic. You simply go direction Salzburg, change at Rosenheim, and it's not far from there.

All great advice.
I thought the most remarkable aspect of Berchtesgaden was the bus trip up to the Eagle's Nest and the engineering info - maybe 1/3rd of the 3rd R's engineers and God knows how many worker bees were involved there full time 1937-1939: squandering talent and lives was what Germany did best in the late 30's to mid 40's.
The remaining building at the summit is now a restaurant and not terribly exciting.

M's comment that I quoted above got me to laughing. He or she completely missed the magnificient views and the history of the building. Sort of like saying the Grand Canyon was deep, but not too scenic. This is why you have to take all of the advice you get here with a grain of salt. We all come at travel from a different perspective.

Bob1,
I think the Grand Canyon is the most spectacular part of the US I have ever seen!
Some of my extended family did the engineering and my dad, an USAAC CAPT, whose mom was a German born in Karlsruhe, helped "preserve" the views.
