Schonau am Konigssee
Schonau am Konigssee
Loved by travelers from around the world, there are few places in the world more charming than Schonau am Konigssee. A visit to the lake where the water is so clean you can drink it is an essential part of any trip to the region. Three huge mountains surround the crystal-clear waters and where the gushing waterfalls and the green slopes provide a stark contrast to the barren mountains. A trip on one of the boats that glide silently across the Fjord-like waters provides the opportunity to witness the serenity of the Alps. Listen while a flugelhorn is blown amid the incomparable calmness of the lake and be prepared to be astounded by the echo as it makes its way around the mountains. Then you’ll understand why so many people consider Schonau am Konigssee to truly be a place like no other. If you plan on enjoying the boat ride, we suggest increasing your stop time to 3 hours.

Salzburg is picture book Austria and no visitor should miss out on the view of the Old Town’s kaleidoscope of domes and spires, the imposing castle fortress and the stunning alpine scenery of the mountains that lie beyond. The Old Town is a place where time easily slips by as you wander and wander. Check out Mozart’s birthplace and soak up the grandeur of the churches and monumental squares that appear one after the other. The city also rewards those who are prepared to look slightly further afield. Meander the narrow side streets accompanied by the classical music that seems to waft from each window and stop by one of the city’s café’s to sample the mouthwatering cake and coffee. Let Salzburg work its charm on you to leave you with an unforgettable memory as you absorb its incredible skyline, the ever-present music and its thousand-year-old history.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

Great transfer option.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

It was a fantastic trip.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Excellent service

Know more about your day trip

Konigssee is often called Germany's most beautiful alpine lake, known for its emerald-green waters of extraordinary clarity and dramatic rock faces rising 2,000 meters directly from the shoreline. During your 3-hour visit, experience the lake's famous echo demonstration on boat tours when captains play trumpets that reverberate off the mountain walls. Visit the iconic St. Bartholoma Church with its distinctive red domes, only accessible by boat. The pristine water quality results from a century-old ban on motorized boats—only electric vessels are permitted, preserving the lake's serene, fjord-like character.
During your 3.5-hour Salzburg visit, prioritize the UNESCO-listed Altstadt (Old Town) with its Baroque architecture. Explore Getreidegasse with its decorative guild signs and Mozart's birthplace, visit the impressive Salzburg Cathedral, and stroll through the beautiful Mirabell Gardens where "Sound of Music" scenes were filmed. If time permits, take the funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress for panoramic city views or visit the modern Museum of Modern Art. This compact city center allows efficient exploration of major highlights within your timeframe.
For the optimal Konigssee experience, take an electric boat tour from Schonau to St. Bartholoma, a picturesque church accessible only by water. The 30-minute journey includes the famous trumpet echo demonstration against the Falkensteiner wall. At St. Bartholoma, enjoy a lakeside meal featuring fresh smoked trout, then explore walking paths along the shore. If time permits, continue by boat to Salet at the lake's southern end for a 30-minute hike to the smaller Obersee lake with its magical reflections of surrounding peaks.
This comprehensive day trip allocates approximately 3 hours for experiencing Konigssee's natural beauty and boat tours, followed by 3.5 hours for exploring Salzburg's rich cultural and architectural heritage. Your driver will manage timing between these destinations, which lie approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles) apart. This schedule allows sufficient time to experience the highlights of both locations while enjoying the scenic Alpine roads connecting them.
Both Germany and Austria are within the Schengen Area, so border crossings are typically seamless without passport control. However, always carry your passport or national ID card (for EU citizens) during international travel. Occasional random checks may occur. For non-EU visitors, ensure your visa allows multiple entries if applicable. Your driver will handle any practical aspects of the border crossing, but having identification readily available is recommended.
Around Konigssee, sample Bavarian alpine specialties like smoked trout fresh from the lake, traditional Kasespatzle (cheese noodles), or hearty Schweinshaxe (crispy pork knuckle). In Salzburg, try the famous Mozartkugeln (chocolate-marzipan balls), traditional Salzburger Nockerl (sweet souffle), or savory Bosna (spiced sausage in a roll). Both regions offer excellent opportunities to taste distinctive beers, with Bavaria known for its wheat beers and Salzburg famous for Stiegl brewery. Your driver can recommend authentic establishments based on your preferences.
Late spring through early fall (May-September) offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring both destinations. Summer provides the most reliable weather for Konigssee boat trips and outdoor activities, though it brings peak tourist numbers. The shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) balance good weather with fewer crowds. Winter visits offer magical snow-covered landscapes and Christmas markets in Salzburg (late November to December), though Konigssee boat services may have limited operations. Early morning departures from Munich maximize daylight exploration time.
