Photogenic St. Bartholomew's Church, built in 1697 on fjord-like Königssee (King’s Lake), Schönau, Germany, Europe

Photogenic St. Bartholomew's Church was built in 1697 on fjord-like Königssee (King’s Lake), tourable by boat from Schönau am Königssee, near Berchtesgaden, Germany, Europe. To avoid crowds, take the first boat in the morning. In peak tourist season, don’t disembark at the Church due to possible hours-long reboarding queues. Instead, continue to the last stop at Salet, where easy walking 1–5 miles round trip experiences the beautiful Obersee Lake and Röthbach waterfall, highest in Germany. Berchtesgaden National Park is honored by UNESCO as Berchtesgadener Land Biosphere Reserve.
