Berchtesgardener Land
The boat ride is incredibly scenic across Königssee (meaning King’s Lake), situated near the German- Austrian border in Bayern (Bavaria). The best part of the boat ride is the moment in which the guide plays trumpet in the middle of the lake so that passengers can hear the famous echo that is created.
Boats are used for transportation to St Bartholoma church, halfway down the lake. If you continue on the boat, you can also reach Obersee; the far end of the lake.
Obsersee (meaning Upper Lake) was so still that it acted like a mirror. I came early to beat all the tourists, and so had a beautiful scene almost all to myself. The deepest and cleanest lake in Germany is just a short hike from the massive Königssee. An incredible reward without strenuous effort.
