Lake Konigsee in Berchtesgaden, Germany

The "King's Lake" and St Bartholomew's Church in Schonau

The Konigsee lake lies below the Watzmann, nestled in the mountains of Berchtesgaden National Park. The emerald-green hue of the shimmering water captures the heart of everyone who sees it.

The pilgrimage church of St Bartholomew is located on the shore of the Königssee; it is a former hunting lodge of the Bavarian kings. A boat trip on this beautiful lake is an experience that is not to be missed during a trip to nearby Germany.
