After the trip to St. Bartholomä, we enjoyed a twilight walk to the Malerwinkel and the view of the lake.

I do this circular hiking trail every time I'm here 🤗
I actually wanted to go up to the Rabenwand but 400m before the finish a woman fell because of the snow and ice 😮‍💨So help and then turn around😖
Winter...that's just how it is ✌🏻

August 3, 2022,Königssee – Rundweg "Malerwinkel" mit kurzem Chill am Ufer

Just a quick note today: since moving from Ruhpolding to Schönau am Königssee took a little longer than I thought, I could only think of the Malerwinkel circular route. Of course it was very crowded again at the Seelande and the crossing to St. Bartholomä or Salet is as popular as ever. With the temperatures you can also venture into …

Last day. Departure for Zorneding tomorrow and then back to Lipperland on Monday. I really hope that my kitten hasn't used up her 7 lives and will be scratching the patio window again next week. That was one of my problems here.

August 22, 2024,Königssee - Frustweg 🏔🥾😡

After the crowds at the jetty put us off, we looked for a quieter way back to the car park. After a shopping stop, we ended the tour a little earlier. We should have followed the advice of a casual acquaintance and set off for Königssee very early. That way, we would have just looked at the lake without taking …
