Köingssee is a beautiful small lake in the Bavarian Alps next to the town of Berchtesgaden. Its water is the cleanest lake water in Europe with drinking water quality(!).

The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German State of Bavaria (Bayern), near the German-Austrian Border. Lying near the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden in the municipality of Schönau am Königsee, just south of the Austrian city Salzburg in the German Alps, the Königssee is the deepest lake in Germany. The lake was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It is 7.7 kilometers long and about 1.7 kilometers across at its widest point. Except at its outlet, the Königsseer Ache at the village of Königssee, the lake is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of alpine mountains (2.000 m), including the fabled Watzmann.

Remarkable POV Kristof, the reflections seem to lead the way between the large mountains and towards the puffy clouds in the distance. Well presented.

Hello Kristof,

A fine pov where the clear water leads deep into the photograph, funnelled by the high mountains.
The tones of colour in the water give a feeling of depth.

Interesting notes to accompany your shot.

Knd regards,
Bev :-)

I do like the way you've gone for the panoramic crop with this.. I don't think any other format would have worked really.. A nice view Kristof.

Hello Kristof

Nice reflections & symmetry, in this tranquil lakeside scene. Good sharpness & pastel colours. Tfs!

Hi Kristof,

I know this lake, been there only once, but I remember that it is beautiful. I didn't know that water is drinking quality. Interesting...

Really good view on the lake and excellent composition with mountains embracing the lake. Very nice colours and sharpness.

Have a nice week :):):)
