    Hiking

    A miniature glacier at 820 m above sea level, right outside the gates of the city of Salzburg and just 45 minutes away on foot? The family-friendly hike to the ice chapel (834 m) at the foot of the Watzmann east face offers all this and a fantastic mountain panorama. The ship takes you across the Königssee to St. Bartholomä before quickly reaching the impressive gate to the ice chapel on well-developed hiking trails through the forest. Overall, a varied and worthwhile hike for the whole family with views of the surrounding peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps in Bavaria.

    We stood on the ice chapel. I would have liked to see it from the inside. That's how it is in winter.
