Lake Königssee is Germany’s highest lake and nestled amongst the mountains; its unpolluted waters boast a clarity and freshness. The reflections of the mountains in its green waters make a truly magnificent and spectacular setting. Do not miss the Wimbachklamm Waterfalls a truly amazing feature.
This area is steeped in tradition. The people frequently wear national costume and are known for valuing and preserving their culture. You can often see them working in the fields as this region is devoted to Alpine farming.

You can choose to hike or cycle and you won’t get lost as the footpaths and cycle tracks are clearly marked and designed to show you the best of the area.
