Tucked away in the southeast corner of Germany, encircled by an impressive range of mountains, lies the Königsee, or King’s Lake. The lake is the centerpiece of Berchtesgaden Nationalpark, Germany’s sole alpine national park and a distinguished UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The lake, with a maximum depth of 192 meters, can only be traversed by electric boats, thanks to a tradition more than a century old set by Prince-Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. Luitpold was worried the noise would drive off the deer he fancied hunting in these parts during the 19th century. It is fascinating that the near-vertical mountain walls here create an echo that reverberates up to seven times.
Let’s set out on a serene journey across the King’s lake, where we can catch sight of the St. Bartholomä peninsula nestled against the eastern face of the Watzmann mountain, and see the historic hunting lodge of the kings. We will gaze upon the Röthbach waterfall, Germany’s tallest with a staggering height of over 400 meters, and end our journey at the cul-de-sac that borders Austria.
