Hiking Trail "Königsseer Fußweg"
Description
The starting point for the hike along the Königssee Trail is the Triftplatz, located on the border between the two municipalities of Berchtesgaden and Schönau am Königssee. In 2016, the trail was named Germany’s most beautiful hiking trail in the “Land Natur” category by the German Volksport Association (DVV). The fully accessible trail is lined with a total of 19 information and puzzle panels (in German and English) that provide information about local attractions, such as the timber rafting, native wildlife, and the Königssee Railway, which once ran between Berchtesgaden and Lake Königssee. Using a flyer, visitors of all ages can answer exciting questions and receive a small surprise at the end at the two accessibility-certified tourist information centers in Schönau am Königssee.
