Königssee & St. Bartholomä

Next stop: Königssee.

And wow… the amount of tourists 😄
The parking lot alone felt like a small city.

Eventually we made it onto one of the famous electric boats and glided across the lake surrounded by dramatic mountain walls, forests, and crystal-clear water.

Then came the postcard moment:
St. Bartholomä sitting perfectly in front of the massive Watzmann mountain backdrop.

Absolutely stunning.

The boat guide also demonstrated the famous echo wall — incredibly cool to hear bouncing through the valley. And I still can’t believe these boats have been electric since 1909. That feels wildly ahead of its time.

We explored around St. Bartholomä briefly before taking the boat back to shore.

Genuinely one of the most beautiful natural places of the trip.Read more
