From Munich: Königssee Boat Ride & Berchtesgaden Salt Mine
About This Tour
We start in our modern busses and reach the green landscapes from Bavarian state with the majestic Alps.
The idyllic emerald green Lake Königssee is located in southeastern from the state Bavaria, in South of Germany. It lies at the foot of the famous Mount Watzmann in the heart of the Berchtesgaden Alpine National Park.
In the relaxing crossing by electric boat to the idyllic island of St. Bartholomew, you will not only hear the impressive echo but you will also learn interesting facts about the mountain lake itself. The trip provides time for you to hike and enjoy the beautiful landscape as well.
In the evening, just some minutes away from the lake, we visit the Berchtesgaden salt mine. It is in continuous operation since 1517. Dressed like in the old times of mining gear, you begin the exciting tour through the salt mountain by riding in on the mine train. To the highlights we count the miners’ slides, a raft ride across the subterranean “Mirror Lake,” and the Salt Cathedral.
