Schönau am Königssee, Germany

We sadly farewelled Salzburg today and picked up our hire car for our next week in Germany.

First stop was Schönau am Königssee, a picturesque town situated on Lake Königssee. From images I had seen I was expecting a beautiful lakeside village but in actuality this is a skiing town, aimed at tourists. However, while it does have a tourist feel it is still an amazing place with the snow capped mountains surrounding the crystal clear lake and rolling hills of green. Spectacular!

We had a quick walk through town before deciding to enjoy a delicious meal by the lake. Our German waiter certainly added to the experience with his charm.

Our accomodation was next to a stream and the walk along the bank was so picturesque. The view from our balcony was spectacular day and night. This is a beautiful part of Germany and I am so happy we added it to our travels.Read more
