Schönau am Königssee is a small Bavarian village nestled in a stunning alpine landscape. This pristine lake is the gem of the Berchtesgaden National Park, and a visit here is a unique experience. Take the electric boat across the lake and admire the towering cliffs and clear turquoise waters. Walk or cycle along the shore and discover hidden coves, or take a hike into the surrounding mountains. Stop in the village for traditional Bavarian food and beer, then head to one of the nearby salt mines for a thrilling underground adventure. The nearby Eagle's Nest, Hitler's former mountain retreat, provides a sobering reminder of the area's wartime history.
