Königsseer Ache

Highlight • River

Super nice bike path along the Königsseer Ache. Away from the busy road, the path leads through the forest and even if it is not asphalted, you can drive on it without any problems.

The lake is just awesome. You have to look at the reflections on the Obersee. But take one of the first ferries 😉.

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.

Due to the weather forecast, we decided to take the bus to Berchtesgaden.
Arriving at the bus station, we first had to find the way to Königssee, as we didn't want to continue by bus.
The path led us along the Ache to Königssee. Most of it runs on nice paths through the forest.
At Königssee itself, we only moved …

Start at Berchtesgaden train station. Along the Königseer Ache it goes almost imperceptibly uphill to the Königsee. Panoramic views of the Kehlsteinhaus, the Jenner and the Watzmann with his family open up again and again. Arriving at the Königsee, it is worth making a detour to the bobsleigh run.

Arrival and departure by public transport.
Beautiful mountain panorama. The path always follows the Königssee Arche. It roars loudly and cools the surroundings.
Masses of tourists at the lake, reminiscent of Hallstatt.

Fourteen days of vacation - once again over like a blink of an eye 😳! So the farewell hike of our first and certainly not last stay in the Berchtesgadener Land was already on the agenda. The weather said goodbye to us in a somewhat forgiving way: Dry with a hint of blue sky, but no mountain peaks in sight🏔️.

We're back: Schönau am Königssee ♥️. When we arrived yesterday we had over 800km of continuous rain. Same thing this morning: but staying at home was out of the question for us - rain gear on and off.
After checking on the autumnal Königssee, we walked along the Königsseer footpath to Berchtesgaden. We've walked this path so many times, but …

Admittedly, the course of the route does not look very appealing, since the way there and back are close together or are identical. But if you turn right at the big roundabout at the station "wrong", you walk unintentionally, but all the more panoramic on the Salzalpensteig above the Ache to the south. Soon after, the path leads along the …
