Don't just visit Königssee but go and look at this lake: Obersee! We promise it's worth it! Take the boat all the way from Königssee to the end (stop on the middle island when you get back) and get on the first few boats at 8 am so you miss the crowds!

Get ready for a truly memorable journey to one of our most stunning hidden gems. Your adventure begins with an electric boat ride across the crystal-clear Königssee, dropping you at the Salet pier. From there, it's a beautiful and relatively easy 15-minute walk to the breathtaking Obersee, a tranquil lake nestled dramatically among towering cliffs. You can continue your hike around its emerald waters for about another hour to reach the impressive Röthbach Waterfall, Germany's highest.
