Very easy by car, but do note that many of the outbuildings and fountains will not be available. They are closed and/or boarded up for the season, and sometimes even earlier than scheduled if the weather is colder than the norm. So if you are going in the shoulder season you may be disappointed, although it is still a decent visit.

But still a very nice trip with a side visit to Oberammergau or Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It is especially stunning on a crisp sunny day.

From Salzburg take the A8 north, exit Irschenberg over Bad Tölz, and join the A95 south. Total time about 2 hours depending on traffic conditions.

From Munich an easy trip south on the A95.

Note that if there is snow the trip is not quite so nice; there is a steep winding hill at Oberau. In that case train plus RVO bus is still possible.
