How well lit and well marked are the roads? I'm picturing a dark deserted stretch of highway at night, when it might not be like that at all.

Your trip is in September, right? It won't be properly dark until 8 or so in the evening...
How late at night will you be driving?
I've never driven around there at night because I prefer to see the beautiful mountain scenery, but I wouldn't expect any streetlights except in town. In the daytime the roads are the usual examples of beautiful German engineering with excellent signage (if you know what to look for) and corners well marked.

Thanks Nigel.
Yes. September.
I doubt we'd be doing any real driving after dark, but I do expect we'll be on our way back to the hotel after a day out, and I'm expecting that to be maybe 8:00-8:30-ish...
My sense of direction is decent until you get me into the countryside. Then it's 'game over'

You'll have no problems. Driving is easy, signs are good and the roads generally excellent. You'll enjoy driving in this area. We've visited 5 times and have had no trouble driving or and not getting lost. The B305 is the main road through this area.

I spent 5 nights in Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden in May and did much driving in the area. It was very, very easy (with a little help from GPS).
