Tips

The Königssee lies like a fjord between steeply rising gray rock faces. The almost 2,000 meter high walls are so steep that they plunge seamlessly into the water of the lake. Since there is no path along the shore, the fastest and most promising way for you is across the lake with one of the excursion boats. In order to protect the water quality and nature, all boats used are operated exclusively with electric motors or physical power.

Unfortunately, the Königsee is not what it used to be 30 years ago. Bergeinsamkeit, peace and quiet you look here at weekends, or in the season in vain. The path from the parking lot to the lake is like the pedestrian zone of a big city. True crowds of tourists are drawn to the lake and St. Bartholomew.
If you want to cross the lake by boat, you must be in line for more than an hour. After a walk of several hours this is certainly no pleasure.
The whole does the beautiful landscape and mountain or lake scenery, of course, no demolition! So, if possible visit the lake outside of the season, unless you like the hustle and bustle.

Fantastically beautiful lake and away from the hustle and bustle at the boat dock you can also experience wonderful quiet moments in a great landscape. A very beautiful circular path leads to the well-known Malerwinkel, which can also be walked in winter.
