This site is a guide to some of the places we have visited. This is more of a journal of what we did than a definitive guide to these places. Traveling is more about living the experience than documenting every momement. So, if your favorite landmark is missing, it does not mean we did not see it, only that I did not take a picture.

<p>I took this about midway up the lake on a ratther cloudy and chilly October day .The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German State of Bavaria (Bayern), near the German-Austrian Border. Lying near the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden in the municipality of Schönau am Königsee, just south of the Austrian city Salzburg in the German Alps, the Königssee is the third deepest lake in Germany. The lake was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It is 7.7 kilometers long and about 1.7 kilometers across at its widest point. Except at its outlet, the Königsseer Ache at the village of Königssee, the lake is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of alpine mountains (2.000 m), including the fabled Watzmann.<br />
<br />
Riding the boat is a fabulous experience and so easy for people of all ages. If you go early you can have time for a picnic and hiking in serveral spots during the winter fall season the boat alas with only go half way up but its still one glorious journey.<br />
<br />
The literal translation appears to be King's Lake, but this is not correct. While König does indeed mean king, the name of the lake comes from the first name Kuno, which appears in several historical sources, and it was formerly called Kunigsee.[1]<br />
<br />
The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven boats, rowboats and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. The lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers.<br />
<br />
In addition, the lake's position surrounded by mountains creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. On boat tours, it has become traditional to stop and play the trumpet to display the echo. Its a moving experience that with possibly move you to tears.<br />
