Königssee Boat Pier

Highlight • Rest Area

From here by boat to the Saletalm or St. Bartholomä. The ships stop in the middle of the lake and play the echo for the passengers with the trumpet.

The Königssee lies like a fjord between steeply rising gray rock faces. The almost 2,000 meter high walls are so steep that they plunge seamlessly into the water of the lake. Since there is no path along the shore, the fastest and most promising way for you is across the lake with one of the excursion boats. In order to protect the water quality and nature, all boats used are operated exclusively with electric motors or physical power.

View of Königssee

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can see the Königssee, but only so good because of the vegetation. Nonetheless, the view of the mountains is good.

Königsbachalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Königsbachalm is the "intermediate station" for the cows of the Aschbachhof before they are driven on to the Priesbergalm in the middle of summer. Both alpine pastures are managed in summer - u. a. there are the typical fresh milk products. The pickled cheese is great and the cake can also be recommended!

View of Watzmann

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're lucky and it's quiet and there aren't many hikers around that day, you can see marmots. Time flies very quickly when you're watching these cute little animals. Especially when there's not just one marmot, but several coming out of their burrows, crawling around or coming out of different holes. A very special highlight.
