St. Bartholomä, with its unusual church and short and medium-length hiking trails on the peninsula, is the main attraction for most visitors to Königsee. When the weather is nice for excursions, there can be a long queue at the pier in the late afternoon in the high season from the jetty to the inn before the return trip.

Other activities

St. Bartholomä is a possible starting point for hikes in the direction of Funtensee (Kärlingerhaus via Saugasse) and further into the Steinerne Meer or the Röth.
On January 29, 2006, around 60,000 people were out and about on the frozen Königssee, a large number of which should also have reached St. Bartholomä.

Mountaineering

St. Bartholomä is located on a small peninsula on the Königssee and can only be reached on foot with a large difference in altitude of +1000m. It's easy with the boat. There is also an inn for catering and small circular hiking trails.
