The Königssee
is a natural lake in the extreme southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the Austrian border. Most of the lake is within the Berchtesgaden National Park.
Situated within the Berchtesgaden Alps in the municipality of Schönau am Königsee, just south of Berchtesgaden and the Austrian city of Salzburg, the Königssee is Germany's third deepest lake. Located at a Jurassic rift, it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km (4.8 mi) in the north-south direction and is about 1.7 km (1.1 mi) across at its widest point.

On boat tours, it has become traditional to stop and play a flugelhorn or trumpet to demonstrate the echo. Formerly demonstrated by shooting a cannon, it can be heard to reverberate up to seven times. The trumpeter plays along with the returning sounds so it sounds like as many as seven players.

St. Bartholomä
a famous pilgrimage church with an inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lake shore. The small Christlieger island is located near its northern end.

Obersee lake
Enjoy gorgeous views of the mountains reflected in the mirror-like surface, and the tall Röthbach waterfall. South of the Königssee, separated by the Salet moraine, is the smaller Obersee lake with the 470 m (1,540 ft) high Röthbach waterfall. As there is no lakeside path on the steep shore of the Königssee, St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains—except for harsh winters, when the lake freezes over.
Stepping on the ice, however, can be fatal, as it was for a motorist in the winter of 1964, who on his way back from St. Bartholomä drowned in his VW Beetle. The car was not detected until 1997 at a depth of about 100 m (330 ft).

MOUNT JENNER - Jennerbahn Cable Car (1,874m / 6,150ft)
the highest gateway for visitors into the Berchtesgaden National Park. Attractive two-person gondolas sail up from the Königssee valley below into brilliant sunlight, dipping over dark forests and rugged cliffs along the way. Soar up to a 1,802 meter high plateau - right in the middle of spectacular mountain landscapes on the site where the Bavarian poet Ludwig Ganghofer once said "He, whom God loves, is dropped into this Land!" No wonder: blessed with a panorama of more than 100 German and Austrian mountain peaks it is a spectacle indeed!
Hang-gliders and paragliders take off from here into the lofty heights. Whether relaxing in a lounge chair or taking part in challenging and exciting sport: The Jenner mountain can fulfill every wish - in summer as well as in winter!
For those for whom simply admiring the view is not enough, over a dozen hiking trails with various levels of difficulty begin here and invite you to see some of the most beautiful areas in the German Alps.

amazing view and scenery

On boat tours, it has become traditional to stop and play a flugelhorn or trumpet to demonstrate the echo. Formerly demonstrated by shooting a cannon, it can be heard to reverberate up to seven times. The trumpeter plays along with the returning sounds so it sounds like as many as seven players.
