Upper Bavaria by public transport

Hello

I'm trying to figure out if I can spend a few days in Upper Bavaria (say 4 nights in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and 3 nights in Berchtesgaden) using public transport. Would rather avoid the hassle of renting and driving a car, if possible. I fly in and out of Munich.

G-P is easy enough to get to from Munich by train/bus. There's also a train between Munich and Berchtesgaden (change at Freilassing). Wondering of there is some way to get between Ga-Pa and B'gaden without going through Munich.

Also makes me wonder if I should just skip B'gaden and stay a week in Ga-Pa and explore the places around there. I'm not able to tell from all my reading if B'gaden is significantly different from Ga-pa. Our main interest is nature (lakes, mountains, etc).

Thanks in advance!
