I can't remember whose bright idea it was to go to Tarvisio but I do remember that the only reason…read morewe went was because someone had a poster of it and it looked cool. Once we arrived we quickly found out that the image from the poster was nothing like what was before our eyes. We later found out that the image we had seen was of the Sanctuary of Mount Lussari (outside of town). Tarvisio itself was dead and consisted of one road and nothing else. We went to the Tourist information Office and were recommended to go to Laghi Fusine (Fusine Lakes). We saw pictures of it and and were sold at once so off we went to the bus stop to get the bus. We arrived at the end of the line and driver told us that we had arrived but we couldn't see any lakes in the vicinity; the driver told us to prepare ourselves for a lovely long walk up a mountain...great! It was freezing cold, in fact I had two pairs of jeans on and God knows how many layers up top. We walked and walked and walked and saw no trace of any lakes or water. To say that we were not impressed would be an understatement but then we started to hear gushing water and became more hopeful! After a few more meters we hit paradise. The view was breathtaking: snowy peaked mountains reflected in the glistening water of the lake. Unfortunately, we only got to see the first lake as when we were going to venture to the other lake behind, we noticed that the weather had taken a turn for the worse and it was starting to snow! We did not want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere with no one in sight and no shelter or provisions! I'll be back for sure!

Very beautiful place! It's must visit! The nature here is breathtaking…read more Best place for relax day. Very quiet and peaceful. I recommend to do round trip around the lake. I would take you around 1 hour.

Beautiful artificial lake surrounded by the mountains in the heart of Valcellina…read more I came here on a cold winter day and truly enjoyed my visit. The lake has incredibly green water- you can see a lot of swans and the mountains reflecting on the water, which wakes for a great photo-op.There are several trails that offer incredible views of the lake and the mountains. It's an ideal place for a family outing or a walk with friends. The village of Barcis is also very picturesque.

The water is cold as can be. It's a quiet town. A few little shops and a few restaurants. We were here in late spring June 4th. We hear it's much busier in July and August.

Absolutely beautiful and definitely worth getting off at the Salet stop to see! After the boat ride…read moreon Königssee, we did the short walk from Salet over to Obersee. It was an easy little hike and the scenery was gorgeous. The lake surrounded by the mountains is incredibly peaceful and picturesque. You don't have to do a long hike to get beautiful views either, which makes this a great addition to the Königssee boat ride. Definitely recommend taking the boat all the way to Salet and making the walk over to Obersee. The views are worth it! Pet friendly: A great outdoor stop if you're traveling with a dog.

I truly haven't been a part of scenery as spectacular as this little corner of Germany-Austria. The sun! The shining green lake! The mountains! Holy hell, if this place doesn't do it for you, I don't know what will. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and feel it. The spirituality of the alps. Unforested, unsettled and so pristine. If you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of the Alpine cow. Amazing!

It's one of those places where the pictures really don't do the views justice. We took the boat across the lake as part of our visit, which is such a great way to experience the scenery and get to the different stops around the lake. The whole area is peaceful and beautiful and was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Berchtesgaden. I would absolutely recommend making time for Königssee if you're visiting the area! Pet friendly: Dogs are allowed on the Königssee boats, although the boat operator has specific rules/fees, so check those before visiting.

No trip to Berchtesgaden is complete without a boat ride through the Konigssee in Berchtesgaden…read moreNational Park. The Boat rides leave from the tip of the Konigsee, and can be taken to One or Two spots for a different affordable price. Its a beautiful ride through the lake in the mountains. The entire tour is in German so if you don't speak the language you won't really know what's going on, but no need to as the ride is a reward in itself. Be sure to get to the Docking stations early so that you have time to head out to St. Bartholomew etc. and Hike around. There is also a hofbrau haus directly next to the church to have a nice meal while you wait to return to Berchtesgaden. It's a must do while in this beautiful area of Germany. Take the ride, and listen to the amazing echo's of the trumpets off the mountain side. Highly recommended, and well worth the price.
