🇩🇪 Königssee Travel Guide: Transport + Hiking

Details in images 2-4 – feel free to save them 📌 ✅ Munich → Königssee: 1⃣️ BRB RE5 (7:56-9:33): München Hbf → Freilassing 2⃣️ BRB S4 (9:39-10:28): Freilassing → Berchtesgaden Hbf 3⃣️ Bus 841/842 (≥10 mins): Berchtesgaden Hbf → Königssee ⚠️ Pay attention to bus routes and schedules – travel time to Königssee varies depending on the bus. All above routes can be used with the €49 monthly travel pass. The first two trains are connected with ≥5 mins transfer time. ⚠️ RE5 + S4 run once per hour. ⚠️ Start early if planning a long hike! ✅ Boat Tickets: Round-trip from starting pier to final pier: €27.5/person https://koenigssee.axess.shop/Shop/Index/de (Tickets available online or on-site) ⚠️ If booking online, arrive ≥5 mins early. If you miss your boat, politely ask staff – they may let you board if there’s space (speaking from experience 😅). ⚠️ Round-trip allows only one ride, but you can get on/off at intermediate piers. Example: You can ride to the final pier, return to an intermediate pier, then go back to the start. But you can’t get off at an intermediate pier, return to the start, then ride to the final pier again. ✅ Boat Ride + Hiking: 1⃣️ (5-min walk from bus stop) Starting Pier: Königssee 🚢 Sit on the right side going, left returning for best views! 2⃣️ (35-min boat ride) Intermediate Pier: St. Bartholomä (Red-domed church) ⛪ Have coins ready for the trumpet player’s tip 🎺 Usually, people don’t get off here – continue to Salet. You can return later to try fish at the church (though we skipped meals all day…😋) 3⃣️ (25-min boat ride) Final Pier: Salet 🥾 Hike ~20 mins to Obersee (Upper Lake) → Turn right and hike ~50 mins to a mountain hut for fresh milk 🥛 → Continue right on stone path ~30 mins to Röthbach Waterfall 🌊 ⚠️ Last boat departs from Salet at 17:40 ⚠️ Last boat from St. Bartholomä at 18:00 ⚠️ Allow extra time for queuing! #StudyInGermany #TravelGermany #Munich #VisitMunich #Königssee #MunichDayTrips #Hiking #GermanyNature
