Königssee – King’s Lake

The Königssee is embedded in steeply rising mountains from all sides. The most famous of these peaks is the legendary Watzmann. Explore the shore of the lake and the spectacular views or stroll through the picturesque lakeside village with the same name Königssee. You will have around 50 minutes to spend here. Children also have fun here on the lakeshore!

Our Panorama Tours Tip: Take a walk along the northern shore of the King’s Lake to the Malerwinkel to reach a lookout point providing one of the most beautiful views of the lake.

Berchtesgaden

The second stop on this tour is in the picturesque mountain town of Berchtesgaden. Explore the town in front of the spectacular alpine panorama, enjoy coffee and cake (consumption not included in price) and see the Bavarian lifestyle firsthand. The stay in Berchtesgaden is around 50 minutes. Small stores sell dirndls, lederhosen and other handicrafts that are firmly anchored in the customs of the Alps.
