Separated from the famous Königssee by a natural moraine, Obersee is a serene mountain lake nestled in the Berchtesgaden Alps. You can reach it by boat from the main landing stage at Königssee.

Along the way, a picturesque photo spot features a charming wooden boat hut. Nearby, you can discover Germany’s highest waterfall, the Rhönbachfall. If time allows, hiking south along the lake to the waterfall rewards you with stunning views and excellent photo opportunities.

For this location, bring both a wide-angle lens to capture the expansive lake and scenery, and a telephoto lens for detailed shots of the waterfall and boat hut.

Recommended gear: Wide-angle lens, telephoto lens
