The small pilgrimage church and the Königssee are inseparable. On summer weekends countless tourists stream through the tiny village to visit the church in front of this phenomenal panorama and take photos. If the hustle and bustle is too much for you, you can just start right on your hike in the surrounding mountains.

Hiking

By boat to St.Bartholomä and then back to the valley to the ice caves (follow signposts). Not as crowded as the front of the church.

If you want to go, the best way to get here, then return from Salet. The snakes to get in here are sometimes very long on the return trip!
