Description
Experience the stunning natural beauty of Königsee Lake on an unforgettable boat tour to St. Bartolome, where you can take in breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lush forests.
In the last little southeastern corner of Germany, surrounded by an amphitheatre of majestic mountains, is the King’s Lake, or Königsee. It sits at the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany’s only alpine national park and a recognized UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The 192 meters deep lake is therefore only navigated by electrical boats that have operated here for more than 100 years, thanks to Prince-Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, who was afraid the noise would scare away the deer he so liked to hunt here in the 19th century. We should forget that the almost vertical walls of the mountains here cause an echo that can be heard over 7 times. During our visit, you will hear said echo, but no longer caused by the king’s rifle but by the boatmen’s trumpet, reverberating over the mountains all the way to Austria.
Let’s embark on a pure romantic journey over the Kings Lake, to see the St. Bartholomä peninsula just behind the east wall of the Watzmann mountain.
