Schönau am Königssee Travel Guide

 Peterodl Says:  I would recommend walking to Schönau am Königssee. It's only 4.5 km away from Berchtesgaden and well marked. You get to pass by many fun traditional little homes on the way and the views of the countryside are outstanding. 

 Peterodl Says:  The chapel is only accesable by boat and dates originally from 1134.Next to the chapel is the royal former hunting lodge of the Kings of Bavaria where you can now grab a nice bit to eat in a restaurant.There are hiking trails behind the chapel and hunting lodge leading to...

 codrutz Says:  Schonau am Konigsee is the place where i would return in an instant to walk on those green fields and reach the high mountains. Pictures can't show the real relaxation that this landscape gives you. 

 codrutz Says:  I know I would come back here for a week, with this kind of view on my balcony. You definitely have to stay at the Maria's Mooslehen pension and breathe the fresh air. 

 codrutz Says:  Schonau am Konigsee must have the nicest location in Berchtesgaden National Park. It is surrounded by mountains and the multitude of pensions with flowers at balconies shows that is a preffered place for german families to spend their holidays. 

 myriam_c Says:  When you take the boat trip in Schönau, take the long one upto Salet. It's a sort of hop-on-hop-off and you can get off at St. Bartholomä first, then take another boat to Salet (or vice-versa).Salet is at the other end of the lake, surrounded by the mountains and the... 

 myriam_c Says:  When you take the boat tour in Schönau, you will see, long before the boat anchors, the picturesque pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä, the "Wallfahrtskirche". The church has bright right wooden towers (round domes in fact). The reflection of the white church with the red...

 codrutz Says:  This is a big room even for a hotel. Maria, the host, gave us the best room, with a very big and super confortable bed in the middle of the room. I tell you .. you sleep once in that bed and you will want it for your home :) 

 philmc1979 Says:  It might sound like an exaggeration but this really is the best traditional restaurant in Bavaria. A totally authentic place hidden in the stunning but sometimes touristy town of Schoenau am Koenigssee.Right at the foot of the Jenner, with goats tinkling their bells in the... 

 myriam_c Says:  The name of this café-restaurant comes from the world-famous Echo of the Königssee. Location is perfect and idyllic: right at the border of the lake with a wooden terrace built over the lake. View of the mountains at 3 sides, the heart of the village at 1 side.The restaurant...
