Germany's Königssee – A Stunning Hidden Paradise

Last time I went to Germany, my sister was eager to visit Königssee, a lake surrounded by breathtaking scenery and mountains. We asked our relatives living in Germany for the best way to get there, and it turned out that it was very convenient to travel from Salzburg, Austria. So, we first took a train from Munich to Salzburg and stayed there for a night before heading out the next day. We stayed near the train station and discovered that the direct bus to Königssee was also nearby, making it very convenient. The bus ride was only about twenty to thirty minutes. Our bus made a stop midway, and we thought we needed to transfer, but the driver, with limited English, told us to wait for ten minutes before continuing, so we stayed on the bus. Soon, we arrived at our destination and immediately bought boat tickets. Königssee is divided into the Upper Lake (Obersee) and the Lower Lake (Salet). We first visited Obersee and then Salet. During the boat ride, the captain introduced Königssee in German. The most unforgettable part was when a person on the boat played a horn, allowing us to hear the beautiful echo from the mountains, a gift from nature. Although it was drizzling when we visited Königssee, the mist on the mountains made the scenery look like a painting. There were many spots perfect for taking photos. Walking in the mountains, breathing in the fresh air, and absorbing the natural energy made us feel rejuvenated. The ducks in the mountains were not afraid of people and playfully gathered around my feet. Afterward, we slowly took the boat back to Salet. It was noon, so we had a dish made from fish caught in Königssee. Although the cooking method was a bit intense, the fish was incredibly fresh. We then visited the St. Bartholoma church, which looked like a red onion. It was small inside but felt very peaceful. If you travel to Germany, I highly recommend visiting Königssee to appreciate the beauty of nature.
