Königssee boot tickets

You can pay with cash or card. These are Salet and St. Bartholomä. Don't forget to explore other Berchtesgaden tourist attractionsduring your stay. The mouth of the stream is reached easily in about 15 mins from the boat pier - the path starts just behind the waiting hall, towards Kärlingerhaus.

The Rinnkendlsteig Trail requires physical stamina and sure-footedness and is therefore not suitable for children.


A return ticket to St. Bartholomä is less expensive than a ticket to Salet. Your unforgettable journey across Königssee's crystal-clear waters awaits. In St. Bartholomä, a visit to the historic pilgrimage church and a walk along the shore are a must. Groups may also qualify for reduced rates. The surrounding area offers picturesque views.

Avoid third-party resellers unless they are verified. For information on reaching the lake, consult our guide on how to reach Berchtesgaden.
