<p>The <strong>Königssee </strong>is a natural lake in the extreme southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the Austrian border. Königssee’s name literally means “King’s Lake” in German, and once you get here you’ll completely understand why: it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in Germany, if not in Europe.</p>
<p>It’s also the deepest lake in Germany, pluging to a depth of 190 meters or 630 feet. At a length of 8 kilometes or 6 miles, you can reach a scenic viewpoint to see the entire lake with just 30 minutes of walking. <strong>Lake Königssee</strong> with its <strong>emerald green color</strong> and nestled at the foot of the imposing eastern wall of Mount Watzmann in the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park is one of nature’s true masterpieces. The Watzmann Mountain to the east reaches almost 9000 feet above the lake’s shimmering green ripples.</p>
<p>The scenery around Konigssee Lake reminded us of Norway’s fjords.</p>
