Not only because of its excellent location in the middle of the historic town center, but also because of the wellness and gastronomic offerings, the 129-room, four-star superior domicile is one of the best addresses in Berchtesgaden.
Lake Königssee
Nestled deep between steep rock faces, emerald green at the foot of the imposing Watzmann east face, lies the Königssee. The heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park. It is voted one of the top excursion destinations in Germany by visitors every year.
Numerous hiking trails and via ferratas lead to impressive vantage points and offer spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can take a boat across the Königssee and enjoy the scenery from the water.
Guests glide across to the unique pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä on a quiet electric boat. With its striking onion domes, it is located together with the former hunting lodge of the Bavarian kings in one of the most beautiful places in Bavaria. Be sure to travel to the Salet terminus (served from Easter to mid-October). From here, a short walk takes you to the equally well-known & popular Obersee: from this beautifully situated lake, you can see the Fischunkelalm and the Röthbach waterfall. Germany’s highest waterfall plunges over 450 m at the head of the valley.
A very special highlight of the boat trip on Lake Königssee – the trumpet echo: the trip across Lake Königssee takes you past the world-famous Echo Wall. About halfway to St. Bartholomä, the boat driver uses a flugelhorn or trumpet to demonstrate the echo on the wall, which can be heard once or sometimes twice.
