One of the best places for vacation. People can enjoy their holiday with family and friends. During summer time we can enjoy the sunshine and the gorgeous views. I will definitely go there again with my wife and kids.

Lovely lake and would enjoy it better when it’s sunny, can spend around 2-3 hours, you would get into a boat which cost around 22,50 euros per adult. In the middle of the boat you can hear echo when it’s all silent and a trumpet is blown after that they drop you to a small island and can spend around 1-1.5 hours by taking a stroll or visiting a small church and can eat in the cafe

Went early in the morning and bought a boat ticket at 14 euro. At that time, we were unable to alight at the church but nonetheless, the boat tour was amazing! Especially when the boat went closer to the cliff and the staff blow the horn, which reverberated throughout the mountain and reflected back!

Absolutely gorgeous place, superb views of the mountains and lakes combined. There is a boat ride which will cost you 25 euro for adults and 12 euro for children. You can also carry your pet which will cost 4 euro but you have to put mask on the boat. There are some hotels available to stay near by lake and feel the peacefulness and natural beauty.

Gorgeous place. Make sure to take the boat ride. They play trumpet and it echoes with the structure of the mountains. Truly one of the most moving events I have witnessed. 100% recommend.

A must do if you stay in Salzburg take the one hour trip down. Taking the boat half way is good enough if you aren’t going to hike to the waterfall at the final stop and are on a time crunch. Lots of shops and places to eat but no grab and go options. Get there early or you will have a long wait to get on a boat especially if it’s a sunny day.

Good place. Travel from Bad Reichenhall to Königssee is mesmerizing. Do take bus from Bad Reichenhall for the best view.

No words to describe how beautiful it is. Take the boat to Salet. Walk over to Obersee, you can walk to the other side, but not suitable if you are not so mobile, as you have to hike / climb some "rock" stairs. It can be very slippery. It is about 40 min one way walk

One of the best lakes in Europe. One should visit this lake once if the that one is in Europe. Tip: Summer is the best time to go here.

The most beautiful lake of Germany is Konigsee! It’s around 4 hour by public transport from Munich. But if you wake up early enough, you can go for a day trip here.

May 10,2023 good experience riding the boat, we went here late on the afternoon, out of time to discover more view, suggest to come here earlier so can go more view and place to walk. bring some food with you, im sure its a nice place to have picnic.

A beautiful lake , still with not so many people and shops around. A great walk, lookout, waterfalls. I liked that.

Nice lake but very touristic and quite crowded on the weekend. There are many stalls in which you can grab something to eat or drink. Many souvenir shops. As we were traveling with a reactive dog, we didn't take a boat tour but rather walked around the lake. Found a nice spot from which you could see the lake, but it wasn't the best view.

Konigsee is a big lake nestled in the Bavarian Alps. The crystal-clear waters, lush greenery, and stunning mountain backdrop create a picture-perfect scene. Whether you’re taking a boat ride or hiking along the trails, every moment here is special. A must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike! We took a boat ride across to St Bartholomew’s chapel, and hiked up to the Ice Chapel. There is parking at the head of the lake, hotels, restaurants etc, and good transport connections.

Nice lake and very impressive but very touristic and quite crowded even we were there during the week (on Monday). We took the boat to another island and walked around the island. It took abt 30' to walk around the island.

Königsee is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Bavaria's natural beauty! The emerald-green waters, surrounded by towering peaks, creates a mesmerizing spectacle. The boat ride across the lake offers a serene and awe-inspiring experience, allowing you to soak in the pristine landscape. Don't forget to visit the iconic St. Bartholomew's Church, a true architectural marvel. Königsee is a must-visit destination for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking solace in the embrace of Mother Nature.

One of best places to visit in Germany. The lake is surrounded by mountains that provide breathtaking views of the lake. You can take ship or paddled boat to explore the lake.

One of the best views in Alps, absolutely worth seeing. Especially strongly recommend lake cruise. The trumpet melody played by the crew of ship among mountains was something really breathtaking.

A truly magnificent place in the world and a pride of Germany. It's magnificent, an incredible sight to witness! One of the nicest views in the Alps; highly recommended. I especially advise a lake cruise. The ship's crew performs a trumpet melody that is absolutely stunning as it passed through the mountains. Would love to go again.

Highest waterfall in Germany, absolutely gorgeous. Normally you can't get close to it, since there are no defined hiking pathways. However, it's possible to climb it, just at your own risk, preferably with/following someone.

Hike for one hour aftr half hour boat trip to reach this amazing waterfall

Stunning place to visit. You need to be relatively fit to be able to visit this place. Wear walking shoes. Some areas can be quite slippery.

The tallest waterfall in the Germany, it’s a nice waterfall which would be better with a little bit more water. The view from bottom is nice, but it’s worth to go up-but be aware that the way up&down is a little bit complicated and might be only for hikers with a little bit of experience, due to the slippery rocks from the waterfall water.

Spectacular waterfall and hike. Not suitable for very young children or buggies. Bring plenty of water and good shoes. Do t suggest flip flops!

Waterfall is much better from the distance then after a hike. Even after the walk, you cannot get close enough to it, the slope is very extreme, impossible to climb there. And the best thing you can see from the end point of the walk is forest waterfalls (like on my picture). So I recommend to stay at Obersee edge and do not walk more.

Gorgeous waterfall. Wonderful walk. Close up view of animals in the area too.

Beautiful place. I did not go climb all the way in to the Waterfall because I am terrible at going back down, but even walking to the end of visible path rewards you with gorgeous views throughout. Worth the hike there!

We did the hike on 8 Oct 2022. One might get a different experience depending on the season. Gorgeous views along the hike, but do not believe the sign that says 15 mins to the ice chapel (cave). From that sign, it took us about an hour to get to the cave itself. The first half of the trail from St Bartholomew's Church to the sign that says 15 minutes to the ice chapel is well marked and fairly well trodden. Proper hiking shoes are nevertheless recommended as leaves and stones may be slippery (it's not a paved road). However, the last hour or so leading to the ice chapel is totally unmarked, and for us, involved scrambling over rocks and boulders of varying sizes across an exposed gully. When we did the hike, there was no one else for miles around, and only the faint impression of footprints in the dust every now and then assured us that someone had been there before. The site felt ominously dangerous, and we didn't dare to make loud noises for fear of starting a rockfall. We saw another couple scrambling to the right of the gully along the scrub and vegetation towards the chapel, so whatever floats your boat. As we were reaching the cave, the dude from the aforementioned couple was just exiting. He spoke excitedly to me in German, which I failed to comprehend completely, but I concluded from his bright eyes and overall happiness that good things awaited. There was a small stream we needed to navigate to approach the chapel (thank you waterproof hiking shoes), and being inside the cave itself was a singularly surreal experience. Ice melt was constantly falling around us and it sounded like we were in the middle of a rainstorm. Our outer shell coat ended up soaked. As we exited the cave, we saw more people approaching. The path back again wasn't entirely straightforward, and we came across a dual language sign (which we totally missed on our initial approach) which warned of mortal danger ahead. To be honest, if we had seen the sign earlier, we might not have completed the hike. As it was though, it was a spectacular experience, and one went away with greater empathy for why trailblazing nature explorers do what they do. TLDR: first half well marked and relatively easy if uphill. Second half involves unmarked scrambling over rocks and navigation by sight only. Proper shoes and full mobility of all your joints necessary. Do not attempt in anything other than dry weather.

Definitely worthwhile to explore! Remember to wear the hiking shoes.

Good hiking experience to Eiskapelle. Hiking boots is a must! Adventure and fun begins when the trail stops halfway. Gotta find your own path to Eiskapelle. Do be careful too, as a rock the size of our head fell in front of us when we arrived at the glacier.

It is a perfect hike from the church. Moderate hike with stunning views. When you reach the kapelle, a wonderful peace and perfect place where you can chill and enjoy the beauty of nature. Water is fresh and cold. Definitely a must go place.

The view is worth the time spent hiking the steep path. After a point you have to make your way through the rocky path! Highly recommended!

Wonderful opportunity to see how river starts! You can go under snowhill, it's like cave in glaicer. You stay under rain from celling of cave in the glaicer and literary see the begginging of river - unforgettable emotions! BTW, it's comparable easy to reach - ferry from Berchtesgarden to St.Bartoloma, and then 1-1.5h of hiking to the Ice Chappel.

Beautiful hike. Good maintained trails most of the way up, some riverbed crossings could be challenging for some but should be manageable for most.

Plenty of time and the sturdy shoes are necessary for this trip! We failed to reached the cave because of time limit to catch the boat since We started hiking about 14:40. There were three signages along the road: The first one was just near the church. The second one was at the end of the road( it took 40-45min for us to get the second signage) From the second signage, the road became gravel. After crossing the creek, we reached the third signage and saw the spectacular view. ( it took another 15-20 minutes to there) We could see the cave but the final route was unmarked and rugged with the risk of falling stones,especially in rainy days. Due to the consideration of time and uncertainty of the final route, we just returned back to St Bartholoma.q

Unique attraction, the challenge getting to it and finding it makes it an adventure, there is actually both an ice chapel and an ice cave, both equally impressive in the surrounds. Challenging rock scramble, but stay low, follow close to the water and you’ll find both.

This is probably the best park I have ever visited! The nature is incredible 😍 The lake is very clear, lots of people were swimming there. The water seemed too cold for me (late August), but the view is really amazing! There is private parking next to it, boat rentals (12€ per hour) and hotels with restaurants 👍🏻 My recommendation! ❤️

A very serene atmosphere and beautiful experience in between Alps. One can do treks, row a boat, or just be there and breathe :)

This hike is amazing. I didn’t go further into the different trails because of time constraints, but it’s definitely worth hiking that high up.

What a hidden gem. I would like to think that we plan our itinerary around beauty, not so touristy spots and great food. This place makes the list! What a gorgeous gorgeous spot for a short day trip to truly enjoy the culture. Really enjoyed our day trip and so glad we decided to see this :)

Beautiful national park. Nice ride on the lake - one of the cleanest lakes in Europe. Nice walk to a small lake and beautiful nature all around. Near the park is an eagle's nest which is also worth a visit.

Extremely beautiful and clean National Park. If you like boat trips and hiking, this is the place for you.

The view from the top was so amazing. It‘s like in heaven. So blue green and colorful. If you’re a tourist from another country. You should visit this place, it’s near from Austria and still part of Germany 🇩🇪

Unbelievable beautiful, boat trip is definitely worth taking. Relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Nice food and drinks, and really great hikes

Very nice place to go. But don't forgot to back by last boat at 4.20PM in February

It's the area over just the Church. Stunning location, peace and serenity deep in nature. Witnessed three very small avalanches from a far which was lovely to behold (No dangers and warnings not to go off on your merry way up the far away peaks!!)

Saint Bartholomew's Church is located in the midway to Königssee. This building adding more to the beauty of the area. An ancient building which gives a majestic look. It is midway point where tourists can spent time and enjoy the beautiful Scenic Views. Boats reach and leave this area after every 15 minutes. Beautiful place and strongly recommended for tourists.

Breathtaking views and great food at the restaurant.

Roman Catholic pilgrimage church surrounded by mountains. View is worth the time spent! We visited this place through boat trip.

St. Bartholomew's Church near Konigsee Lake is a hidden gem of architectural marvel and natural beauty. The church's stunning red onion-domed towers stand out against the backdrop of the majestic Bavarian Alps, creating a postcard-perfect scene. The interior is equally impressive, with intricate woodwork, ornate altars, and beautiful stained glass windows. The peaceful atmosphere inside the church is enhanced by the serene surroundings. Visitors can take a boat ride across the crystal-clear waters of Konigsee Lake to reach the church, adding to the sense of adventure and charm. It's a truly magical place that captures the essence of Bavaria's rich history and breathtaking landscapes

The place is very clean and peaceful you can do meditation there and also enjoy it with friends too The view is mind blowing as early as possible and spend nearly 5-8 hours there and don't forget to go obersee

A beautiful church at Serene location with Alps and lake view. There are good walking trails and a restaurant for refreshment. Expect a crowd during peak season and on weekends. You may end up spending a long time in the queue for the return trip. It's a pleasure to visit either in Spring or in Autumn.

Arrive by boat that costs 22 euros. Fairly unremarkable church and area. In my opinion, not worth the money for the 22 euros.

Wonderful to explore this beautiful place, the water is so clear like a crystal I can feel that I can drink it.

The nature is just perfect, the lake is amazing. The whole energy is unbelievably strong, I've measured myself, trust me. Why no 5 star? Too many visitors and infrastructure isn't built to handle all of them.

Part of konigsee..in my personal opinion here is better than hallstad

Beautiful bost ride ended at a beautiful monastery

You are guaranteed a great view if you seat at their outdoor seating. Just be aware it gets chilly, unless it’s summer. Food was decent. Good portions at as reasonable prices you can get in touristy places. As usual in Germany, stick to beers for drinks. If you are a fellow tourist and want to try their local soda, try the cola - Afri cola. Parking is at a ridiculous fee of 8€ due to the parking being used for the tourists who wander at the lake.

The view is good, the Breeze was nice and the food was also good. Relaxing 😎. Only thing it gets crowded and you need wait in the queue, but worth the wait. Some pics from our table!

Really nice place to eat. We had lunch here and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Königsee.

The restaurant location is great in regards to the amazing view of the landscape in order to enjoy your meal. Cheerful staff, delicious meals and of course free of charge car parking is offered.

I had read the negative reviews from guests about the staff not being polite/courteous, but I thought of giving it a try. The place has a good view, but staff can definitely be politer, particularly to non-German speaking guests. We requested to be seated outside, but despite all the area being empty and no reservation placards placed, the waitress shrugged and murmured something in German. She was speaking in English inside, but somehow chose to say something in German so that we do not understand. This is despite being apparent that we were English-speaking tourists with a bag and camera. Beer was ok, fries were decent. However, due to the lack of warmth, I wouldn't go there again.

Food is great . View is nice. Only thing is too many people, you will have to wait for table and order and food .

One of the best atmospheres and views in Germany!! Sit outside and soak up the lake, boats, Alps and have some great food and drink. Great service and English menus.

The restaurant is in one of the best locations to relax.... right next to the lake from where ferries start. There were 3-4 vegetarian options and we ordered all 4 of them. To our pleasant surprise, by far, this is one of the very few restaurants in Europe where Vegetarian food was so wonderful. Curry rice was the best I had tasted in a long time! So far so that we thought of visiting this place again the next day. The staff were polite, welcoming and helpful. Price of the food is reasonable too. Parking near the place could be tricky as the parking space gets full quickly. Awesome location & an awesome food !

Amazing view, delicious and fresh trout, which I definitely recommend to try 👍🏼 I also tried fresh white asparagus with potatoes - yummy 🤤 staff was friendly ☺️

Picturesque location, good food and friendly service. The best part about this biergarten is the location- since it is located on the other side of königsee the crowd is lesser than the ones you will see at the entry path leading up to the lake. With nice weather, you can sit close to the fence overlooking the lake and the breathtaking view. The beer is good, food is delicious and prices are like in any other biergarten.

Top restaurant by the lake. They have a nice terrace to sit and enjoy your food and drinks by the lake. The view is amazing. The food selection is really good. Also the beer and wine options are many! We took 2 pig snitchel with potatoes and 2 beers and we paid 38€ including tip. The price is very fair for the spot. They have a parking spot that you can use for free as long as you are a customer.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal and drinks here during the week. Had the rump steak which was exceptionally tender and the plate of food was a gigantic array of delicious food. The steak is accompanied by a salad, homemade chips and a choice of sauce. I opted for pepper sauce and did not regret it! Wow... I'm still licking my lips. Our pictures don't do justice to how delicious and fresh everything was. Will be back!

Not even deserving a star. The boss just looks at you and isn't even greeting you. If you are young and arrive after 21:30 you don't get anything to drink and you have to leave. 2 times there.. But never again most of the stuff ain't friendly. The only friendly one is the older guy!

Not dog friendly, you can‘t go in with dog at all.

Absolutely delicious food, friendly staff, and super cute atmosphere. Our server was very nice and kind. The rösti and the rump steak were amazing! And dessert? Sooooo good!

Rudely sent us away because dogs are not welcome

Waldhauser Brau provides the perfect place to eat dinner after a long day outdoors. The restaurant has a cosy feel to it and the waitress is incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. It feels like you are eating in someone's home. The food was absoltely delicious - I would recommend anything involving Hirsch, especially the ragout, also the salmon was delicious. Would definintely go back the next time we're in Konigssee :)

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Can't believe I'm saying this in April 2024. Waiter used the n-word to describe a diesel beer (coca-cola and helles). Disgusting.

The food is good in this place. But the inside of the place is very old fashioned and very full (lot of tables). Ketchup and mayonaise is given in large tubes, which is not really acceptable in post-Covid times. You can pay with bankcard and cash. To enter, you need to use steps/stairs, so not very friendly for people with a disability of walking problems.

We arrived at the restaurant early on a Monday and we were told by the waitress to look for a table in the larger of the restaurant's two dining rooms. Only two of the about 25 tables were taken and 2 more were reserved so we easily picked a table and sat down. The menu looked good with many different local dishes. I picked a skewer with pig fillet and mushroom sauce and my girlfriend had a pig roast with a large bread dumpling. We had no trouble switching my girlfriend's side from kraut salad to a regular small salad. Food was good although not great and a bit on the pricey side. However we were shocked by an event during our dinner: When an Asian family of three entered the dining room and politely asked the waitress if there was a free table, she responded with "sorry today only reservations". This was clearly a blatant lie as she had told us only two tables were reserved when we arrived. My girlfriend counted 17 free tables at the time the family asked for a table. I don't know why this restaurant treats foreign people with such hostility but as a German myself this was a big no go for me.

DON'T GO THERE!! Ther are unfriendly and they are all RACIST! They even spoke ill behind my back. It's the worst restaurant ever. One star is also a waste. It doesn't deserve even one star. I don't really like to recommend here. Don't waste your time and money here

Unfortunately I cannot rate the food, as we were turned away by an in my opinion very unfriendly female staff, that did not welcome us in any way or even bothered asking how many persons etc. we are, she simply gave me (in my opinion) a very unwelcoming stare. After I asked if she has a table for 2 plus a small dog, her reply was "no, dogs are not allowed and we already have 3 dogs inside". Not sure what the meaning of this is or what difference it makes, but there were plenty of free tables available... I know hospitality business can be tough at times but this is in my opinion no way to welcome guests. Especially if it's not busy at all... (This review reflects my subjective experience and subjective feeling)

We had dinner here on our Bavarian lakes hop road trip. The place was nice, the staff was very friendly and direct, though it was in the busy hour. They even gave nice recommendations, or what would be their pick, on asking. I tried a steak with vension, and my friends also tried other dishes. All the dishes were good and tasty. The dark beer they serve from hofbrauhaus Bertchesgarden was also nice. The atmosphere was also good. (Other than some overly staring and nosy guests on other tables, since we were scream foreign, this could be a norm). Overall the place was good and we like hit.

A fine dining place around Königssee. As you see in the pictures the outdoor seating has a amazing view to eat food with. Staff is friendly. Portions are quite large. Aprikose cake is a Must try! We were here in the noon for lunch at 3 so there wasn’t much of waiting. Rates are reasonable. All in all a good German restaurant.

Everything is close to perfection... ambience, service, location and food. Our favorite Restaurant during our 3 weeks vacation in Berchtesgaden. They also made extra effort for my husbands birthday dinner which for him very memorable. Kudos to the team. Thanks for the wonderful service and for the mouth watering food.

Highly recommend this place. Reservation necessary / recommend otherwise you're running danger of having to wait for a free space. Food very good, staff and waiters very friendly and quick. Price is very reasonable for the size. PS: we booked in advance and had our dinner there 3 days in a row as it one of the better places we found.

Typical German Restaurant, reservation is possible, Chef came out constantly asked if the dishes were good. Schnitzel is good, but rum-steak is a bit uneven cooked, too juicy. Jacket potato is delicious, inside is very creamy flavor. Service is okay, dishes served fast with good price.

Food and service is good except my rumpsteak is to hard. It didn't taste like a medium. The beer is very good. Prices are also acceptable. Nice restaurant!

Quick and friendly service. We came in on a Saturday night without reservation, don't do that, but we got lucky and were able to get a table. We had the Grilteller and Weiner schnitzel. Both dishes are great and plentiful.

The place was super nice and the staff was super friendly. The pizzas are super nice and great in taste

We had spinach with salmon pizza which was great!

The pizza (Brie) was really good but the overall experience was not perfect and can be improved. The restaurant was so loud and noisy and with no music in the background. Also the waiters were a bit overwhelmed and the pizza took so long to be ready. The open kitchen makes the restaurant more loud. Also i was sitting in a very small room (extension to the restaurant) with too little distance between the tables which was risky from Corona hygiene point of view and i felt like all the people in the room were sitting with me on the table. But the food is good to be honest, so i would try it again.

Delicious Pizza at very reasonable prices. The pizza was cooked perfectly. Very impressed with the large number of variety of pizza toppings and combinations they offer. Very friendly staff. Will definitely recommend it if you are in town.

Fantastic pizza, made by hand and brick-oven baked while you wait. We've visited a few times over the past two years and the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff is consistently excellent. The pizzas are very large, even by American standards, but made with such fresh, light ingredients that you will have a hard time keeping yourself from eating the whole thing. They also have a nice selection of seasonal side items and desserts. The strawberry panna cotta was sublime.

We were on vacation in this area and this restaurant was our first choice because of high rating. Our order were three small size pizzas [you can choose three sizes - small (33cm), medium (40cm) and large (50cm)]. Food was great, but we wait for hour and half so the only problem here is waiting time. Over all, it was great visit, prices were not high but on the other hand not low.
