Schonau am Konigssee

Schönau am Königssee combines the stillness of a mountain lake with the scale of the Berchtesgaden Alps, reflecting its position beside Germany’s only Alpine national park. Königssee extends south from the village between steep limestone walls beneath the Watzmann massif, and electric passenger boats provide transport across its water. On the far shore, the pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä, marked by red onion domes, is one of Bavaria’s best-known lakeside landmarks. Mountain routes and the Jenner cable car lead to higher ground above the lake. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Schönau am Königssee and the Berchtesgaden Alps.
