  • The Konigsee iis 8 km long, up to 1250 m wide and 190 m deep.
    The boating service has been using electric boats since 1909, perserving the pristine quality of the lake.
    The Konigsee is supposedly so clean, you can drink from it.
    You will pass the Echo Point on the lake where a bugaler on the boat will play a song and you can hear 1-2 echos. In the old days, a black powder hand cannon was shot off and 7-8 echos could be heard.
    There are constant narrations provided (auf Deutsch only) but English pamplets are available.
    The boat service runs every 30 min.

    Things To Do: St. Bartholowmew Chapel

  • The chapel is only accesable by boat and dates originally from 1134.
    Next to the chapel is the royal former hunting lodge of the Kings of Bavaria where you can now grab a nice bit to eat in a restaurant.
    There are hiking trails behind the chapel and hunting lodge leading to the Eiskapelle (a dome-like ice cavern that doesn't thaw in the summer).
    One way to the chapel takes 35 mins. on the boat service.

  • I would recommend walking to Schönau am Königssee. It's only 4.5 km away from Berchtesgaden and well marked.
    You get to pass by many fun traditional little homes on the way and the views of the countryside are outstanding.
