It's one of those places where the pictures really don't do the views justice. We took the boat across the lake as part of our visit, which is such a great way to experience the scenery and get to the different stops around the lake. The whole area is peaceful and beautiful and was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Berchtesgaden. I would absolutely recommend making time for Königssee if you're visiting the area! Pet friendly: Dogs are allowed on the Königssee boats, although the boat operator has specific rules/fees, so check those before visiting.

No trip to Berchtesgaden is complete without a boat ride through the Konigssee in Berchtesgaden…read moreNational Park. The Boat rides leave from the tip of the Konigsee, and can be taken to One or Two spots for a different affordable price. Its a beautiful ride through the lake in the mountains. The entire tour is in German so if you don't speak the language you won't really know what's going on, but no need to as the ride is a reward in itself. Be sure to get to the Docking stations early so that you have time to head out to St. Bartholomew etc. and Hike around. There is also a hofbrau haus directly next to the church to have a nice meal while you wait to return to Berchtesgaden. It's a must do while in this beautiful area of Germany. Take the ride, and listen to the amazing echo's of the trumpets off the mountain side. Highly recommended, and well worth the price.

Amazing! Do this! Take the Jenner Bahn up to the top and enjoy the amazing bar and amazing view. I…read morereally can't stress how serene, gorgeous and breathtaking it is up there. We went in early October - crisp weather but very sunny, perfect for Alpine beer swilling and communing with Mother Nature. I think it's about 20 euros or so for the roundtrip. It's worth it. You'll fall in love with this part of the alps.

It was an easy little hike and the scenery was gorgeous. The lake surrounded by the mountains is incredibly peaceful and picturesque. You don't have to do a long hike to get beautiful views either, which makes this a great addition to the Königssee boat ride. Definitely recommend taking the boat all the way to Salet and making the walk over to Obersee. The views are worth it! Pet friendly: A great outdoor stop if you're traveling with a dog.

I truly haven't been a part of scenery as spectacular as this little corner of Germany-Austria. The sun! The shining green lake! The mountains! Holy hell, if this place doesn't do it for you, I don't know what will. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and feel it. The spirituality of the alps. Unforested, unsettled and so pristine. If you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of the Alpine cow. Amazing!
