Berchtesgaden National Park
Alpine peaks, glaciers and the long Königssee in Bavaria's far south-east
The Watzmann, Germany's third highest mountain massif, rises above the Königssee, an emerald-green lake about eight kilometres long and enclosed by steep rock walls. The park has no settlements and shares its eastern, southern and western boundaries with Austria.
