    Getting TO/AROUND: When we travelled to Berchtesgarden we'd already had a week on the Rhine so we caught an overnight train from Cologne to Munich(note to self - book a sleeping compartment next time!) . After some sightseeing in Munich we took the train which took 3hours 30 mins to reach our destination.

    For quicker alternatives the nearest airport is probably Salzburg - I believe itas about a 30 min drive from there - thats how close Austria is!

    Transportation: Konigssee Trip

  • Berchtesgaden - tourist boat on Konigssee

    Getting TO/AROUND: The loveley fjord like Kongissee is some 5 miles long and a trip around it stopping off at various places is a relaxing way to spend the day. To preserve the quietness of the lake and clearness of the water electric boats have been used since 1909.

    Allow two hours alone for the round trip withouth stopping but if making a day of it, tickets with a green stripe allow one stop at Batholoma and once at Saletalm-Obersee.
    During the trip the boat will stop In the centre of the lake for the boatman to play a trumpet or bugle to demonstrate the echoes which bounce off the mountains. A wonderful experience.

    Transportation: Local Bus value Pass
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: From reading these tips you've probably gathered wecaught the bus a few times. If you do the same here's a tip: Buy a 5 day Urlabs Ticket from the Tourist Office which give you unlimited travel on all local buses for any 5 days during your stay. Really good value as it covers all local RVO buses, including the 9540 to Salzburg, but note private buses on the Obersalzberg to Kehlstein road is not covered on this ticket.
