Munich Airport day trip to Schonau am Konigssee and Salzburg

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.
