Der bekannte Königssee liegt südlich von Berchtesgaden in den Alpen und erinnert aufgrund seiner steil abfallenden Berghänge am Ufer an einen Fjord. Der mit 192 m tiefste See Bayerns ist eingebettet in das Tal zwischen Watzmann, Jenner und Hagengebirge. Rauschende Wasserfälle, hohe Felswände und denkmalgeschützte Bootshütten befinden sich an den Ufern des smaragdgrünen Sees.
