Lake Königssee is a place for unforgettable hours and photo motifs that you rarely get in a lifetime.
Enclosed by steep mountain slopes, about 5 km south of Berchtesgaden, lies the emerald-green Lake Königssee, Germany's highest lake (603m), whose drinking-water-quality water goes to fjord-like depths. Public transport line #841 runs to the lake about every hour.
You should escape the hustle and bustle of the lakeside tourist village of Schönau and take a boat trip to St. Bartholomä, where the world-famous chapel with onion domes stands on the western shore.
