Today we took a 55 minute boat ride along Königssee to Salet, and then we hiked to a smaller lake, Obersee, and back. At one point the boat stopped, and the guide took out a trumpet and played a Bavarian tune. Each phrase was echoed back to us from the mountains. We saw waterfalls tumbling down from the snowy crevices up high, while we sweltered in the 86 degree heat below!

From Salet, we hiked on to Obersee.

The boat ride back was very peaceful, as we were only among 5 passengers. We had lunch in Berchtesgaden at a very nice hotel. We shared a platter of smoked salmon with horseradish sauce, and then we each had a small garden salad, and still water.

In the evening, we found a pedestrian zone and a traditional restaurant in an upper part of the town. Pork dominated the menu. Mine came with mushroom sauce and dumplings.
