Malerwinkel, Scenic viewpoint at Königssee lake, Germany.
Located on the north shore of Königssee, the Malerwinkel viewpoint provides a natural window over the lake and surrounding mountain peaks extending 10 kilometers ahead.
The Malerwinkel viewpoint has attracted generations of artists and visitors since the 19th century, drawn by the perspective of Königssee against the Alps background.
The observation point faces St. Bartholomew's Church, a red-domed structure that exemplifies traditional Bavarian architecture on the lake's western shore.
The circular trail to Malerwinkel spans 3.8 kilometers and takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete, with parking available at the main Königssee lot.
The lake maintains strict environmental protection measures, allowing only electric and rowing boats on its waters, maintaining the same regulations since imperial times.
