Koenigsee Boat Tours

Posted by (MH, USA) on

My family did this tour over 20 years ago but I believe things have changed considerably and I was too small to remember! I'm looking at the fare guideline (http://tinyurl.com/lr7lg2) and might be having a moment, but I am confused. I want to stop at St Bartholomew and Salet - do I need to purchase a one way pass in addition to a round trip? I'm assuming that by purchasing the Koenigsee to Salet round trip ticket, we would still be able to get off at St Bartholomew. However, I'd rather not assume so I appreciate any input!

Also, how long did you spend on the Koenigsee between the boat and hiking? I am thinking 3 to 4 hours. Thanks!

I took the boat ride in 2002 and got off at St. Bart's before going on to Salet. I don't remember doing anything special with the ticket. I do remember that when we went to get back on a St. Bart's, there was a long line. We realized that the line was for a return to Schönau. There was no line to Salet. When we came back to St. Bart's there was still a line for the return, but since we were already on the boat, no problem.

We did this last summer (2008). We spent the day, having lunch at St Bartholomew and walking. Took the bus from Salzburg, arrived about 10 in Berchtesgaden, bus to the lake, arrived about 1030. You'll be amazed at the proliferation of tourist shops at the dock. Allow 5 hours, or more if you want to have coffee and lunch. And remember to take some small coins, as you'll be asked to tip the horn player to hear the echo.
