Our first backpack belated honeymoon trip to Austria--Day 8 (Koingsee and Obersee)

Felt bored with the historic buildings, it's time for some heaven liked lake view. Today, we went to Koingsee and Obersee. May be most of you have heard about Koingsee already because Hilter built a holiday home there. But Obersee, not many people know this place. Mrs. Lui loves to explore new places, and now, we will show you what we have for today. You won't be regret!

If you want to visit Obersee, you have to arrive Koingsee first. How to get to Koingsee? There is a bus to-from Berchtesgadener and Salzburg train station. (There're some distance from the train station to the bus stop) Then, you have to change another bus from Berchtesgadener to the Koingsee pier.

Koingsee  is a lake located in the extreme southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. 

The quailty of Koingsee is excellent drinkable directly. Though boats sail on the lake, all of them are electric boats, no pollution to the water. 

We got off at Salet. There is a path from the pier to Obersee. During the middle way of the boat trip, the captain took out his trumpet and performed a song. We heard the encho from the hill.

The water was perfectly clear and clean. We didn't drink it but we touched it. Cool~~

We followed the path and walked about 10 mins to Obersee. This is what Mrs Lui expressed her first sight of Obersee? Wow! OMG! What a place from Heaven?! That's true. This is the most beautiful place we have ever seen in our twenty something life. So calm, so peaceful, so pristine. We didn't plan to walk around the lake, however we did finally. It took about 30 mins hiking.

Mrs. Lui couldn't stop saying "wow, wow, wow". This is a real mirror lake. You can see the reflection clearly. Non of waves, non of ripples.You even can see the fishes are swimming in the pearl green water.

However, the path to the more beautiful view wasn't that easy. It was a little bit harsh for us especially for Mrs. Lui. She hates sweating so she doesn't do exercises a lot.

But when we saw this house, we knew that we were close. 

Finally, we had arrived the only farm house in Obersee. The farmer sold fresh cold milk , homemade apple cider and light meals. We enjoyed a pin of milk and a glass of apple cider with self prepared sandwich with the cows, sheep and the lake.

After 30 mins break, we had to head back to the pier to catch the ferry. If there was a pension, I'd stay for at least a week to purify my heart and to relax. We didn't want to leave, but we couldn't. We could only save this view into our camera and our heart. Hope we would have another chance to be here again.

                                                   

 Took the ferry back to the town. Just 30 mins, we felt like dropping back to the reality from the heaven. People, shops, sounds surrounded us again. 

After a day to paradise, Mr and Mrs. Lui were tired to find a resturant. We got in randomly. And these were what we got for dinner tonight. We didn't know German, those they had Enlgish on the menu, we didn't totally understand German Style English. So, we didn't know what we had ordered. All recommeded by the watiress. However, those stuff came quite good. We enjoyed.

Tomorrow will be another place for lake--St. Wolfgang. Sleep tight everyone!
