Königssee Boat Tour

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful electric boats. On the trip to St. Bartholomä and Salet, you'll be provided with a wealth of information in an entertaining way. A trumpet demonstrates the impressive echo on the echo wall.

The waterfall is on the way from St. Bartolomä in the direction of Saugasse or Funtensee/Kärlingerhaus. The path there is initially flat over the Eisgraben, then later quite steep through the forest. Technically not a big challenge, but the path is still quite steep in parts.

Kärlingerhaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Kärlingerhaus is located directly on Lake Funtensee and is an ideal starting point for long hikes through the Steinernes Meer and Berchtesgaden National Park. If you'd like to stay overnight in the hut, it's worth reserving early, especially during the summer months. Rooms fill up early during peak season. More information at kaerlingerhaus.de.

Saugasse Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

In 32 serpentines it goes steeply through the Saugasse of St. Bartholomä up in the direction of Kärlingerhaus. The path through the gully along the towering rock walls will reward you on your arrival at the top with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.
