Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden

About this place

Amble the Malerwinkel painters' path, then head to nearby Königssee, where near-silent electric boats glide beneath sheer walls to the chapel at St Bartholomä. Stay overnight and catch the lake before the day boats start; October's larch colour is a quiet marvel.
