The Pilgrimage Church of St. Bartholomew, uniquely situated on the Königssee lake in Bavaria, Germany, is primarily accessible only by electric boat, which serves as a scenic, partially guided journey (boat costs are the main expense, around €25-30 round trip, while church entry is free) ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING; accessibility concerns might arise for those with severe mobility issues during boat embarkation/disembarkation. While the boat trip has commentary, exploring the church and its beautiful surroundings is typically a self-guided experience. Boat services operate year-round, though winter schedules are reduced and ice conditions can cause temporary closures. A typical visit, including the boat trip and time to explore the church and the historic restaurant, lasts approximately 2-4 hours. Given its popularity, visiting early or late in the day is recommended to avoid peak crowds, and it's often combined with a longer boat trip to Obersee.
