The scenic drive takes you through the beautiful Bavarian countryside, setting the stage for the adventures to come.
You will first arrive at the breathtaking Königssee, known for its emerald-green waters surrounded by towering mountains. Walk from the parking area to the landing stage, where you will board a boat for a serene ride across the lake. This boat journey will take you to the charming island of St. Bartholomä. Along the way, you will experience the famous echo show, where the sound of a trumpet or flugelhorn reverberates off the steep rock walls, creating an enchanting auditory experience.
