View of the Königssee from the Malerwinkel
Highlight • Viewpoint
From the Königssee car park, a path leads past the picturesque boat sheds to the Berchtesgaden National Park. Past the Café Malerwinkel, the walk leads to the so-called Malerwinkel. This hike is also very popular as a winter walk, then the way to the Malerwinkel is cleared and scattered.
Attention: Do not follow the narrow path that follows from the Malerwinkel along the banks of the Königssee. This is an old trail, which is now decayed and a great danger of falling!

Boathouses on Lake Königssee
Highlight • Structure
The part of the company with the highest turnover employs around 80 people. All 19 passenger boats have been powered purely electrically since 1909. The electricity for this comes from the batteries in the hull of the boat. In order for the boats to be able to operate for a whole day, the batteries must be charged overnight.
During the winter months, the employees in the driving service work in their trained professions as boat builders, joiners, carpenters, painters, electricians, saddlers or locksmiths. Then the boats are repaired or rebuilt. The boats, which are predominantly made of wood, but also the 16 huts covered with wooden shingles require a high financial and personnel repair effort. However, this is often used in order to preserve the characteristics and charm of the lake in the national park.
The train service at Königssee is all year round.
