Königssee
Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany
Königssee is a stunning fjord-like lake in Berchtesgaden National Park, Bavaria, Germany, stretching 7.7 km long and up to 190 meters deep amid sheer limestone cliffs of the Berchtesgaden Alps, just south of Berchtesgaden town near the Austrian border.
Renowned as Germany's cleanest and third-deepest lake with drinking-water purity, its emerald waters reflect the Watzmann massif, accessible only by electric boats since 1909 to preserve silence and ecology, stopping at landmarks like the iconic red-domed St. Bartholomä church on a peninsula.
Popular for echo demonstrations via trumpet calls, hikes to Obersee lake, swimming in designated coves, and year-round scenery from spring blooms to winter ice, it offers serene boat tours and trails blending nature and Bavarian heritage.
