The runoff is more or less strong depending on the water level. In summer people are often here to refresh themselves in the Ache.

The Königsseer footpath leads from Berchtesgaden along the Königsseer Ache to the south bank of the Königssee. On numerous signs the hiker can inform himself about the history of the Holztrift. The hiking trail along the Königsseer Ache is also part of the premium long-distance hiking trail Salzalpensteig, which leads from Lake Chiemsee on the Königssee past Lake Hallstatt.

In the summer you can go swimming in the creek. For this extra stone walls would be created. Highly recommended with children.

Königssee is a mountain lake located largely within Berchtesgaden National Park.

Nestled between the steep slopes of the Watzmann and Hagen Mountains, this elongated lake, along with the smaller Obersee lake to the southeast – around which the Steinernes Meer forms the valley's edge – has a fjord-like character.

From the Königssee parking lot, a path leads past the picturesque boathouses into the national park. Past the former Café Malerwinkl, the walk leads to the so-called Malerwinkel (Painter's Corner). This hike is also very popular as a winter walk, as the path to Malerwinkl is cleared and gritted during these times.

Directly across from the parking lot and hard to miss, at least after a rain shower
