Königssee was our lunch stop. The lake nestles at the foot of Mount Watzmann.
We have visited here during the summer months, so it was great to see it under the snow.
Königssee translates as King's Lake.
It is one of Germany's deepest lakes at 190 metres.
The lake is known to be Germany's cleanest lake. Only electric boats are able to sail on it. Passenger boats operate every day except Christmas day. There is no path around the lake, so a boat trip is the only way to view the lake's shores and the mountains that surround it.
There are quite a few tourist shops here. We visited on a Sunday, so all the shops were closed.
No problem finding somewhere for lunch though! We found a cosy cafe/bar called Brötzeitstüberl and had goulash soup with semmel.
It's one of the best we've tasted.
