Map / Königssee
Der längliche Gebirgssee im Berchtesgadener Land ist vom Watzmann und anderen steilen Bergwänden umgeben, weshalb er ein wenig an die skandinavischen Fjorde erinnert. Wenn wir Glück haben, erleben wir den statistisch gesehen einigen Winter innerhalb von zehn Jahren, in dem der See komplett zufriert. Dann können wir über einen eigens angelegten Weg wandern, radeln oder langlaufen. Im Sommer befahren die Boote der Bayerischen Seenschifffahrt das Gewässer. Die Christlieger ist die einzige Insel im Königssee.
