Why Königssee matters
Königssee is a fjord-like lake tucked between steep mountains, with water so clear it looks emerald green. Electric boats glide along it quietly, and the boatman may stop to play a trumpet to let you hear the echo off the cliffs. A small chapel stands on the shore, a classic photograph.
Talking points
- Only electric boats are allowed on the lake
- The echo from the cliffs is demonstrated
- A small pilgrimage chapel sits on the shore
