Nestled within Berchtesgaden National Park in the southeastern corner of Germany, Lake Königssee is located close to the Austrian border in the Bavarian Alps.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Lake Königssee is its astounding depth. It spans over 1.8 miles in width and 4.3 miles in length and boasts a profound depth of around 625 feet, making it Germany’s third deepest lake. The lake is known for its stunning fjord-like scenery and its church of St. Bartholomä, a 17th-century red-domed chapel accessible only by boat. This eye-catching landmark has stunning murals and a legendary golden deer antler.
