Icy silence

Icy silence by Nixter

Icy silence

Schiffahrt Königssee, near Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps, Germany. It is quite close to the border of Austria. The waters of the lake appear to be dark green because of the steep mountains that jut upward from its shores. We drove past the lake on our way back from Salzburg, heading to Munich and stopped to take pictures because it was so stunning.

Thanks to ‘adrianney’ for the great title!

    Where is this taken?

  • Nixter

    Nixter in reply to Sam Mortimer’s comment, 7 months ago

    It is called Schiffahrt Königssee and is about three miles from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps, Germany. It is quite close to the border of Austria. The waters of the lake appear to be dark green because of the steep mountains that jut upward from its shores. We drove past the lake on our way back from Salzburg, heading to Munich and stopped to take pictures because it was so stunning.

    You know, I was there a few decades ago. I agree with you that the view was stunning! I was impressed by the mirror-like quality of the water. Is it still so clear?
