Play it!

When A came over, we (also) went to the Koenigssee. Various people had recommended it to me. And it is a very beautiful lake. Would have been even prettier had the weather been better... Well, I am sure I will be back with more visitors at some point!

You take a little boat across the lake and the highlight - in addition to the funny anecdotes by the guide (you go in the lake as a king and you get out again a queen... it's freezing!) - is the bit where the boat comes to a halt in the middle of the lake and someone plays a piece on the trumpet and you can hear it echoing across the lake.

And we got to witness an avalanche - not much to see in the photo but it was quite impressive and noisy.
