From Munich Königssee Boat Ride and Berchtesgaden Salt Mine
Description
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.

The Salt Mines was a fabulous experience . You get dressed into the work overalls and then take the train onto the centre of the mine just like a salt miner . Listening to the history and how the miners worked was very interesting . I screamed very loudly going down the slide, but then I’m not very brave . The Salt Mines was the highlight of the day trip . Enjoyable lake cruise though a long line to return to the mainland waiting in the hot sun . I would recommend this tour to everyone .
The excursion was great, the salt mine was a highlight! Great tour and refreshingly cool in the hot August! Königssee is only recommended to a limited extent during the holidays, as it is very crowded and there is a super long wait for the boat trips.
Vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der Ausflug gefallen hat und besonders das Salzbergwerk ein echtes Highlight für Sie war – die angenehm kühlen Temperaturen sind im August natürlich ein willkommener Bonus. Auch Ihre Rückmeldung zum Königssee können wir gut nachvollziehen. Gerade während der Ferienzeit kann es dort aufgrund der großen Beliebtheit zu einem sehr hohen Besucheraufkommen und entsprechenden Wartezeiten bei der Schifffahrt kommen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie mit Gray Line Munich unterwegs waren. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei einem unserer Ausflüge begrüßen zu dürfen!

Very beautiful trip! The salt mines had diverse experiences, and the boat ride was gorgeous! The guide was very helpful, and sure none were left behind. The only complaint was that the actual boat ride was cramped and we had to wait in line for an hour, but that wasn't the fault of the tour. Overall a wonderful experience for a day!
