Bayerische Seenschifffahrt
About
The Bayerische Seenschifffahrt offers picture‑perfect boat tours on four of Bavaria’s most beautiful lakes – Königssee, Tegernsee, Starnberger See and Ammersee. Each cruise is conducted on quiet electric launchers or charming paddle‑steamers that glide through crystal‑clear waters, past towering cliffs, lush alpine meadows and gentle waterfalls. Passengers can admire iconic landmarks such as the pilgrimage Church of St. Bartholomä, waltz through the dramatic Watzmann East Wall, and listen to the famed Königssee Echo channeled by the captain’s flugelhorn. With a fleet of 34 vessels, including the impressive 2021‑built EMS Berg, the company delivers a serene, family‑friendly experience that showcases the natural splendor and cultural heritage of the Bavarian Alps.
