What can you explore on our Munich to Königssee day trip?  

The journey to Königssee begins with a scenic drive. As we start from Munich, the route takes you through the enchanting Chiemsee-Alpenland, a region known for its natural beauty and traditional Bavarian villages. You will pass lush green meadows and cosy farms adorned with a colourful array of flowers. As you approach the Königssee, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic. The peaks of the Alps tower proudly into the sky and the air becomes fresher and clearer. The German Alpine Road takes you right into the heart of this majestic mountain world and prepares you perfectly for the beauty that awaits you on the Königssee. 

1. Königssee  

Lake Königssee, nestled in the heart of the Berchtesgadener Land region, is a jewel of nature that impresses with its purity and clarity. The water is so clear that you can see right into the deep, mysterious abysses. The steep rock faces that rise directly out of the water create a breathtaking panorama that you have to experience up close to truly appreciate.  

During the trip, you will witness a fascinating natural spectacle: the famous echo of the Königssee Echo Wall. When the boatman plays his horn, you will be enchanted by the multiple echoing sounds that blend harmoniously into the landscape.  

Another highlight of the lake Königssee boat tour is the sight of the island of St Bartholomä with its iconic pilgrimage church, whose red onion roofs stand out picturesquely against the green forests and blue sky. This postcard motif is an unforgettable sight that makes every visitor's heart beat faster. 

2. St. Bartholomä Island 

The island of St. Bartholomä, actually a peninsula, is a picturesque gem in Lake Königssee, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Bavarian Alps. It is famous for the St Bartholomä church, a landmark with red onion domes, which is often found as a motif on postcards.
