Bavarian & Salzburg Alps

Lake Koenigssee & hiking paradise Hochkoenig.

The blue-green waters of Lake Koenigssee are idyllic, mystical, and one-of-a-kind, nestled in the middle of foreboding mountains. Remarkable bridges link towering peaks and charming valleys around National Park Berchtesgaden, Germany's only Alpine national park. The impressive Hochkoenig massif is reached after passing through flower-dotted alpine pastures and picturesque hamlets. The glaciers of the National Park Hohe Tauern provide a breathtaking background, and mountain lodges with tasty meals dazzle with the region's distinct way of life.
