PRICE: $146
per person

 

Spend a delightful day at the emerald waters of Lake Königssee in the Berchtesgaden Alps of Bavaria. Departing from Munich, you’ll journey along the picturesque German Alpine Road into the stunning valley of Berchtesgaden. Upon arrival at Königssee, embark on a boat ride to the peninsula.

During the cruise, listen for the famous echo of Königssee, amplified by the towering rock cliffs, and watch for the distinctive silhouette of the “Sleeping Witch” in the surrounding mountains.

Once back on shore, visit the St. Bartholoma Chapel, dating back to 1134, situated at the base of Germany’s second-highest peak, the 8,900-foot (2,700-meter) Watzmann. Continue to Salet, where a footpath leads you to Lake Obersee. Here, take in the breathtaking views of Germany’s tallest waterfall, the Röthbachfall.

Please note:

-During the winter season (mid-October to mid-April), the boat only operates to St. Bartholoma and does not go to Salet. Therefore, it is not possible to visit the waterfall during this period. Instead, we will explore the charming old town of Berchtesgaden.

-Boat tickets and lunch are not included in the tour price. Please pay for the boat tickets in cash directly to the tour guide.

-Return to Munich for a hotel drop-off. The entire length of this journey into a serene wilderness is 8-10 hours.
