We start in our modern busses and reach the green landscapes from Bavarian state with the majestic Alps.
The idyllic emerald green Lake Königssee is located in southeastern from the state Bavaria, in South of Germany. It lies at the foot of the famous Mount Watzmann in the heart of the Berchtesgaden Alpine National Park.
In the relaxing crossing by electric boat to the idyllic island of St. Bartholomew, you will not only hear the impressive echo but you will also learn interesting facts about the mountain lake itself. The trip provides time for you to hike and enjoy the beautiful landscape as well.
In the evening, just some minutes away from the lake, we visit the Berchtesgaden salt mine. It is in continuous operation since 1517. Dressed like in the old times of mining gear, you begin the exciting tour through the salt mountain by riding in on the mine train. To the highlights we count the miners’ slides, a raft ride across the subterranean “Mirror Lake,” and the Salt Cathedral.

Great tour, definitely recommend. Loved the salt mines and the trip on the lake, lovely scenic drive also. The tour guide was very informative, would go again if back in Munich.

It’s been one of the most amazing tours that we have been in. The view was spectacular and our guides gave us wonderful insights on the salt mine and the lake. I would highly recommend this tour! Don’t miss it!

They cancelled the tour the day before without saying why. Ruined our plans. Poorly organized and abysmal communication.

Konigssee is very beautiful especially with good weather and very few visitors. Berchtesgaden Saltmine is a worth place to visit and it is interesting to know how the saltmine works. It is incredible that the saltmine is very deep.
The guide is good in keeping enough time to visit the places.

We took 2 trips with Gray Line during our stay in Munich. On both occasions our guide Monica was knowledgeable and attentive.
Our first trip was along the Romantic Road to Harburg and Rothenburg. Both places were interesting and picturesque and we enjoyed the day.
The second trip, to Konigsee and the salt mines at Berchtesgaden, was even better. The scenery along the journey and around the lake has to be seen to be believed and was the highlight of our holiday.
Many thanks for making our trip so smooth and memorable and a huge thank you to Monica for making the trips so relaxed and informative.

Enjoyed this trip immensely. As we are not people to spend hours we enjoy these whistle-stop tours and the background information supplied. Have never been let down by a Grays line tour. The salt mines were great
