Königsee
Staying in Bavaria and continuing the theme of beautiful lakes, Königssee offers a unique experience. From the port, you board a silent Elektroboot (no engine noise, just the water). Midway across, the captain stops at a specific spot on the Echowand (literally translates to Echo Wall) and plays a trumpet (Flügelhorn). The trumpet echo rolls back off the sheer rock faces, bouncing across the lake. I can imagine it being quite haunting at night, and it seems like the perfect setup for a prank.
The lake itself is smaragdgrün (emerald green) and startlingly clear, dropping to depths of 192 meters at its deepest point, with the cliffs of the Berchtesgadener Alps falling almost straight down to the shore.
