Disabled parking / Ferry service

There is no road or path to the St Bartholomä peninsula on the shore of the Königssee. There are eleven designated disabled parking spaces in the public car park in Schönau (subject to a charge).

Passengers are transported from Schönau across the Königssee to St Bartholomew's Church by the Bayerische Seenschifffahrt. The landing stage for the electric boats and the ticket office are approx. 350 m from the car park (level path).

Here you will find detailed information about the Königssee boat trip for people with disabilities.

 

Disabled toilets

There is a disabled WC in the first boathouse on the lakeside in Schönau; the path to it is level.

There are two barrier-free toilets on the St. Bartholomä peninsula (each accessible with a Euro key): In the waiting hall at the jetty and in the outbuilding behind the restaurant
