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, just south of the
Austrian city
Salzburg in the German
Alps, the Königssee (or literally translated King's Lake) 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, including the fabled
Watzmann.
