Spend a full private day at Königssee, Germany's most beautiful lake, just 30 minutes from Salzburg. Your private guide picks you up at your hotel and starts with 90 minutes in the old market town of Berchtesgaden. In Schönau you walk to the Malerwinkel viewpoint for the classic photo across the emerald lake, then board a quiet electric boat with your included round-trip tickets. The boat stops at the Echo Wall for the famous trumpet echo before landing at St. Bartholomä, where you have 90 minutes for the red onion-domed church, the shore path under the Watzmann and lunch at the lakeside inn. Only your group travels in the car, so the day runs at your pace. This is your suggested itinerary: if you would like to see other places on the way, just tell your guide, as long as they fit into the tour time. Audio commentary in 9 languages plays in the vehicle.
