Set sail onto one of the most beautiful lakes in Germany, the Königssee. This 8km-long, 1,250m-wide crystal-clear natural lake is formed by glacial waters in the southeast of Berchtesgadener Land. Towering mountain peaks are reflected on its mirror-like water, which has been kept clean and pristine thanks to a ban on any boat that’s not electric. Boat tours usually allow you to get off and explore the photogenic St Bartholomew’s Church.
