GERMANY (Königssee)

Königssee is a beautiful lake in Berchtesgaden. The water is very clear and appears to be dark green because of the steep mountains that jut upward from its shores. The boat ride on the lake was so peaceful and gorgeous. At one point, the guide stopped the boat and played a trumpet towards the mountains so we could hear the amazing echo. We took the boat to the Chapel of St. Bartholomew (built in the 12th century) and walked around a bit. We got back on the boat and went to the end of the lake and hiked to Lake Obersee. It was so green and beautiful.

Listen to the amazing echo:





There were cows everywhere we went, even crossing the lake.

We enjoyed somes sausage, pretzels, and Bavarian donuts after the boat trip.
