From the route’s slowest published time (1 hour 30 minutes) and the sunset at the start, with half an hour of daylight spare.

Getting there

  • Regional buses to Königssee from Berchtesgaden station
  • Königssee car park

Start: Königssee car park. See it on a map.

Before you go

  • Do not follow the narrow lakeshore path beyond the Malerwinkl: it is in poor repair and there is a real risk of falling
