Hintersee vs. Königssee
The two most beautiful lakes in Berchtesgaden: Are you Team Hintersee or Königssee?
Both lakes have one thing in common: the advantage of being surrounded by Berchtesgaden's beautiful nature. You can definitely enjoy the waters in both places! But what distinguishes the two bodies of water from each other—what makes them so special?
Natural idyll or boat trip?
Hintersee near Ramsau
This lake is bursting with romance! Surrounded by steep mountain peaks, the Hintersee lies in the still relatively undeveloped Berchtesgaden National Park.

- A winter highlight too: The lake is perfect for ice skating & ice hockey!
| Distance to Explorer Hotel: 17 min. by car |
Königssee in Schönau
By boat to the national park? If you want to visit Königssee and St. Bartholomä, you have to, so it's not for the seasick ;)
- Altitude: 602m
- Location: Seestraße 55, Schönau
- 20-minute drive from Hintersee
- Boat trips are offered year-round

Here’s a little taster:
Boat trip on Lake Königssee to St. Bartholomä and the beautiful Malerwinkel
Are you having trouble making a decision?
We can totally relate!
The good news is, luckily, you don't have to choose!
Because if you've been paying close attention, you'll have noticed that the two can be easily combined: A hiking trail connects the two lakes and takes about 4.5 hours. So you're basically getting the best of both worlds :)
