After seeing the Eagle's Nest, we stopped by Schönau am Königsee to relax and have lunch. The lake Königsee is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven boats, rowboats and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909.
View of the mountains from the little town square.
Schönau is an Alpine souvenir mecca and we couldn't resist buying Bex and Em their own dirndls. Micaela said "No, thank you," when we offered to buy her one and there was no way we were going to get a pair of lederhosen on James.
Ducks always attract attention. There are electric boats tours that can take you on a nice peaceful trip down the lake to see lovely sights...
...such a the 11th century Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä which can only be reached by ship or after a long hike. However, we were set to stop by Munich and drive farther still to our hotel, so we decided to eat lunch and be on our way.
Lovely hotel in the square
Authentic dirndls
Hmmmm, where to have lunch....McDonald's won out just because we wanted to save time. At least it was on the outskirts of town. And, yes, those are Alps in the distance.
Look what we passed on the way out of town.
