Kingssee Lake Guide in Germany

Today, the editor will introduce to you the travel guide information about K?nigssee in Germany! Germany is rich in tourism resources. The King's Lake that the editor is going to introduce has beautiful scenery and is very good for boating on the lake. Let's find out the specific travel information together! Boat trip to K?nigssee

The best way to visit K?nigssee is naturally by boat. Because water quality protection is very strict, the boats operating here are electric or hand-rowed.

Take bus No. 841 from Berchtesgaden Train Station to the ticket office at the entrance of K?nigssee. This is where you can buy tickets for the K?nigssee cruise! The K?nigssee cruise will make three stops. The first stop, Kessel, has no attractions and we generally do not disembark here; the second stop, St.Bartholom?, is the famous red-roofed church, the St. Bartholomew Monastery; and the third stop is the Obersee, the most beautiful inner lake. Disembark at Salet station.

On the way from the departure dock to the Monastery of San Bartolome, you will pass by an echo gallery. The crew will take out a trumpet and blow it. At this time, you will hear various wonderful echoes. I didn’t hear this for nothing. After blowing the horn, the crew will come over to collect tips. You can give them any amount, but a symbolic one or two euros is enough.

Tips:

1. Sit on the right side of the boat on the way out and on the left side on the return trip, so you can see the best scenery;

2. Due to the partial freezing of the lake and the closure of the Obersee in winter, the K?nigssee cruise ship sails to the Monastery of Saint Bartholomew (the red-roofed church). The normal operation time of the entire line is generally from late October to late April of the following year.

3. The cruise ship schedule can be found on the operating company’s website: www.seenschifffahrt.de

4. The grilled fish at Lake K?nigssee is a famous delicacy, with fresh and tender meat. Incomparable. There are several restaurants next to the Monastery of San Bartolome where you can try this delicacy. Climbing to the top of Jena Peak

When you climb to the top of Jena Peak, you can overlook the entire K?nigssee, as well as the town of Berchtesgaden in the distance and the lakes and mountains of the Alps.

The Jena Peak is not far from the entrance to K?nigssee, and you can walk to the foot of the mountain to take the cable car. If you want to visit the Jena Peak first and then go to K?nigssee, you can take the 841 bus from Berchtesgaden Railway Station to K?nigssee and get off directly at the terminal (the penultimate stop is the entrance to K?nigssee).

The Jena Peak Cable Car will stop halfway up the mountain. If you like mountain climbing and have good physical strength, you can choose to get off from this station and walk to the top of the mountain. However, it will take a long time and you are pressed for time. Friends, please pay attention.

Cable car operating hours: Stroll through the Magic Forest from 9:00-16:30 every day

Many people say that the scenery of Hintersee is actually more beautiful than that of K?nigssee, and there are also more tourists here than K?nigssee. Few, plus the magic forest (Zauberwald) sitting on the lakeside with the clear stream and the singing of birds, it has an even more out-of-this-world feeling.

Compared with K?nigssee, the area around Hintersee is more suitable for hiking. Needless to say, the lake is like a mirror and the trees are lush. Breathing the fresh air of nature and stretching your muscles are simply refreshing.

In the small town of Ramsau before entering the Magic Forest, there is also a church worth visiting, called Pfarrkirche St. Sebastian in German. The church itself can only be considered small and exquisite, and it does not have a high religious status. However, the scenery on a famous postcard was taken here - when you come here, you must go to the stream under the bridge to take a picture of the same picture. "Standard photo"!

Hiking route: from Ramsau church through the magic forest to Hintersee.

Transportation: Take bus No. 846 at Berchtesgaden Train Station and get off at Ramsau Church. This is the starting point of the hike! Eagle's Nest

If you have enough time or have special interests , you can visit the Eagle's Nest (DasKehlsteinhaus). It is located in the east of Berchtesgaden. It was a 50th birthday gift to Hitler during the Nazi era. It stands alone on the top of a strange and dangerous mountain. It is directly connected to the bottom of the mountain through a lifting tunnel. It also escaped Allied bombing during World War II. It has been preserved to this day.

Today's Eagle's Nest has become a restaurant, open to all visitors free of charge, but for conservation purposes, it is only open from mid-May to October every year.

The Eagle's Nest has a lot of exhibition materials about the building itself and its historical background, which you can visit and learn about. Of course, after finally reaching the top, you can also choose to have a meal or a beer here and enjoy the unobstructed view of Berchtesgaden at the foot of the mountain.

Transportation: Starting from the town of Berchtesgaden, take bus No. 838 and get off at Obersalzberg, where you can take the special bus No. 849 bound for the Eagle's Nest.

The fare for the special shuttle bus is 16 euros for adults and 9.3 euros for children under 14 years old. The price includes a round-trip bus and an elevator ride directly to the Eagle's Nest.

After arriving, you need to register your return time with the driver and return on time.

If you are just visiting, two hours is more than enough; if you want to dine, you can leave more time.
