break in Schönau | November 01, 2009

I'm continuing my posts on Schönau am Königsee today and into next week. To view the other posts, see here, here, and here. And if you missed the special Halloween themed post, do check it out here (make sure to read the caption as well; I think it's a very interesting story).

The image in today's entry was captured in one of the outdoor restaurants in Schönau am Königsee (about a hundred yards away from the dock). It was cloudy when I captured this shot. In the distance, you can see a boat. Tourists can take the boat form the dock and travel to other small towns located on Lake Königsee. What's really neat is that the boats (there are eighteen boats comprising the fleet) that you may find on the lake are all electrical, thus keeping the lake clean and free of pollution.

One reason to take the boat ride is to visit Königssee's landmark, the chapel of St. Bartholomew. This world-famous church can only be reached by boat (or after a long, strenuous hike). The church dates back to the 12th century. I didn't visit it on my trip to Bavaria, but perhaps I will visit it sometime in the future. Perhaps make it a winter trip because it looks amazing.

As I mentioned in this entry, Schönau am Königsee is a peaceful place. I will be posting at least three to five photos from this place next week. Stay tuned.
