balhannah Says: As we depart from the Harbour, our Host introduces himself and proceeds to give us a running commentary of the sights.1st is on our right, a cliff named the Falkensteiner Wand. Sadly, 70 people were drowned here in a storm in the year 1688, now a small red cross marks the...
balhannah Says: Leaving St. Bartholoma behind, we head to our final destination which is Salet. It is here that the boat fills with hikers and campers that have done the trek to Lake Obersee. If you get off here and go for the walk, you will see Germany's highest waterfall, the...
balhannah Says: We make our 1st stop at St. Bartholoma, and unfortunately, our lovely sunny day has quickly turned into a grey, wet one. No good photo's for me! The Chapel and attached house are from the 17th century.Bavarian Kings used it as their hunting Castle, but now it is a Restaurant...
balhannah Says: This was our main reason for coming here, to do a Boat cruise on the beautiful lake that I had seen so many nice photo's of.1st, we had to find a carpark. The park was huge, and still fairly full, even late after-noon. Remember, this is park & pay, so you have to go and find...
violett Says: If you have still time, you can take the bus 839 to the town.Other highlights:EnzianbrennereiSalzbergwerk Berchtesgaden: 9-17, 14€Kehlsteinhaus(the 50-birthday gift for Hitler): Bus 849, 14.5€
violett Says: nearby is the Berchtesgaden main train station, a small station, then you can take bus 839 for about 11 min. to the Königssee (there is another 839, which does not go there, so do ask the driver, if the 839 is the right one ).the bayern ticket can be used for the RB, RE...
globetrott Says: Malerwinkel is always the most scenic place of a village, exactely there, where all of the painters will go in order to paint the best view of a landscape. Schoenau am Koenigssee also has such a place, and you will pass by it with the ships, when starting a cruise on...
Brotzeit-Eck in Schoenau: fast & delicous II
globetrott Says: When I am at a scenic place and have such a perfect weather to take photographs, I simply think itb is a waste of time to go to a fancy restaurant and loose a lot of time, while waiting for the waiter, the food, the bill...Then I prefer such food-stands, especially when they...
Fischerstueberl: fast & delicious
globetrott Says: In case that you dont want to waste your time hanging around in a restaurant, but want to go hiking in St.Bartholomae, it might make sense to take a fast snack at the self-service-kiosk of Fischerstueberl. You may eat it there inside or outside at a few tables on the...
Take the bus from Salzburg or Berchtesgaden
globetrott Says: In order to get to Koenigssee by public transportation, take the bus #840 from Salzburg Rathaus and change to Bus #839 or #843 in Berchtesgaden, the total ride will be a bit more than 1 hour and there is mostly 1 bus-connection each hour.check the timetable here, and search...
globetrott Says: Jenner is the mountain that is closest to Koenigsee, where you may get up by cablecar. and you will have an excellent view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.Jenner-Bahn starts in Schoenau am Koenigssee, just about 200 meters above the large parking-area for...
driving to Koenigsee & parking your car
globetrott Says: Koenigsee is just about 4 km from Berchtesgaden and at the beginning of the village you will find a large car-park for all of the day-tourists for Jenner, Koenigsee and Schoenau am Koenigsee. At first you have to enter the gate, pay right away for the whole day, no matter at...
The SHIP is the ONLY way to see Koenigssee
globetrott Says: The ship is the only way to see Koenigsee, St. Bartholomae and Obersee, except maybe a few tiny, dangerous and steep mountain-paths through the woods. Along the way over the lake you may see only a few places, where something like a beach exists, in some cases with a small...
globetrott Says: When taking a cruise at Koenigssee you will be able to hear the famous "Echo vom Koenigssee", when the ship-guide will take out his trumpet and play a few tunes against the steep rocks that are sourrounding Koenigsee , the echo will return several times, that was really...
balhannah Says: We walked to Lake Konigssee through a street lined with shops aimed at the tourist. We wanted to do the Cruise, so I said I would have a look on the way back. We arrived back at 5pm, and found all of the shops closed, so if you are going to do a late afternoon cruise, and...
balhannah Says: Weather on Lake Konigssee can change very quickly.When our cruise began, it was a lovely, fine & sunny day. By the time we reached St. Bartholoma, it was raining. We saw it coming over the Mountains and down to the Lake area.When we reached Salet, it was teaming, and as we...
alancollins Says: If you travel by boat to the far end of Konigssee and get off at Salet, it is about a 10 minute walk to the Obersee. The lake here is surrounded by mountains making the surface normally completely still. It is a photographer’s paradise making for some wonderful reflection...
alancollins Says: The Röthbach Waterfall can be reached via a boat trip across the Konigssee and getting off at the end of the journey at Salet. You then have to walk to the Obersee and it is up to you how close you want to get to the waterfall, it certainly looks spectacular from a distance....
alancollins Says: A boat trip on the Konigssee is certainly a worthwhile just for the beauty of the area. The electric boat quietly takes you across the crystal clear 8km long lake. On your trip, the boat will stop and a member of the crew will blow a horn with the sound echoing back towards...
bobsled and luge in the Ice-canal
globetrott Says: Kunsteisrennrodel-und Bobbahn Königssee is a great place to go during wintertime ! It is the Ice-canal, built for the training of the German team of the bobsled and luge-champions, it starts high up in the mountains and ends just a few meters off the Koenigssee in...

Konigssee is just outside Berchtesgaden. As you drive into the area you have to use the large open air car park because the small town is pedestrianised. On route to the lake you have the usual array...

The Emerald green lake, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rock faces is Germany's highest Lake, at 603 metre's above sea level. I would imagine the water would be pretty cold if you fell in, as...
