Lake Königssee, Germany- May 2012

Lake Konigssee is one of our favorite places to take visitors while they are in town. It is only a short drive from Salzburg, and well worth the trip. It is a great place to view the gorgeous German Alps around the lake, take a short boat ride, and taste authentic German food (and beer!). Plus, it is known as being Germany's cleanest lake. Just amazing all around.

Last weekend my in-laws were in town and we decided to spend one day taking them around the lake. We weren't the only ones with this idea because the place was packed with visitors.It must have been because it was a long holiday weekend. Oh well. It was still a blast! Since the lines were so long for the boat tours, we just decided to stay in the area of Schonau am Konigssee (the northern end of the lake where all the shops and restaurants are). We sat on the lake and had a lovely lunch with a fabulous view. Then we took a stroll around part of the lake. It was a nice, relaxing day with a lovely view.

Here are some of pictures of our day:

Can't wait to go back!! xx
