Königssee
We left for the Königssee a little before seven. We arrived there a little after 7:30. There was already a line at the cash register for the boat. With a distance of 1.5 m, a row is quickly very long nowadays. We bought tickets. It turned out that you just bought tickets for today, whether we could be on the first 8 o’clock boat depended on whether we were on time. The lady could not say how often the boats would sail. It wasn’t such a big boat either and with Corona we don’t expect that many people would be allowed on it. The boat eventually became quite full. Mouth caps on, though. We were the last 2 passengers to join, numbers 59 and 60. So just in time.
The boat trip took 35 minutes. A nice trip on the relatively narrow lake with steep cliffs. The Watzmann (2713 m), the highest mountain in Germany after the Zugspitze, unfortunately did not come completely from behind the clouds. The flight was interrupted twice. 1x to play the echo. That was really impressive with a trumpet. And a second time as a stopover at Bartolomä where you can make a walk. More than half of the people got out here. We got off at Salet, the end point. There started a 1.5 hour hike to the Röthbach waterfall, the largest in Germany. Initially you will start immediately with more than 25 people. But soon it blows apart and you imagine yourself together again. When we ate a sandwich at the waterfall, we saw a number of people arriving. We decided to go back before it got busy. And that’s what it was. At first we had oncoming traffic every now and then, but there were more and more. Towards the end of the walk there was a constant stream of oncoming traffic. This was no fun anymore. We just saw a boat leaving, but within 10 minutes the next one arrived. With another load of walkers. We sailed back with about 10 men. We didn’t feel like disembarking at Bartolomä anymore. It looked very busy there too. The gigantic parking lot at the Königssee was packed. We got into the camper and started on the Deutsche Alpenstrasse.
