In the last little southeastern corner of Germany, surrounded by an amphitheater of majestic mountains, is the King’s Lake, or Königsee. It sits at the heart of the Berchtesgaden Nationalpark, Germany’s only alpine national park and a recognized UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Highlights The legend of the Watzmann mountain The importance of the ancestral salz mines and trade The particular geography of Lake Königsee National Park of Berchtesgaden Provosty and the independent territory Bavarian annexation Arrival of the royal family to Berchtesgaden Hunting ground for kings Origin of the electrical boats World War I and II Nazi rule, Adolf Hitler and the Eagles Nest Modern age The 192 meters deep lake is therefore only navidated by electrical boats that have operated here for more than 100 years, thanks to Prince-Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, who was afraid the noise would scare away the deer he so liked to hunt here in the 19th century. We should forget that the almost vertical walls of the mountains here cause an echo that can be heard for over 7 times. During our visit, you will hear said echo, but no longer caused by the kings’ rifle but by the boatmen’s trumpet, reverberating over the mountains all the way to Austria. Let’s embark on a pure romantic journey over the Kings lake, to see the St. Bartholomä peninsula just behind the east wall of the Watzmann mountain and where the kings had their hunting lodge, to see the Röthbach waterfall the highest of it kind of Germany with it’s over 400 meters of height, and then to the Cul-de-sac border of Austria.
