4. Personal Experiences Pt 1: Koenigssee
My profession (conducter of workshops for companies) led me to hold a 10 day workshop at the location of "Koenigssee", the lake which is about 15
miles south of the mountain. I booked myself in for an extended stay of 18 days. This was the first time I was there but I returned there privately a
few years later.
One of those days, I took a guided tour of the whole WWII set-up since the place had been one of the main bastions of Hitlers Empire. Residing on top
of mountains did make strategic sense as incoming troops and planes could more easily be spotted. The tour-guide showed us various nazi-bases and
buildings, all quite grandiose and megalomaniac in architecture.
It is from the tour-guide that I learned that the entire area was full of bunkers and
tunnelsystems, leading through mountains, under lakes,
under towns, etc.
This is common knowledge among scholars and locals. What is less common knowledge is that, besides building new tunnels,
Hitler made use of ALREADY
EXISTING Tunnels in the area. At least according to my tour-guide and some locals I questioned. According to a few mystery-minded locals, tunnels
were known to be here since hundreds of years.

As far as I can tell its not possible to reach the chapel/church St. Bartholomae (talked about and shown in a previous post, alleged location of an
undeground tunnel to the untersberg) by foot...unless you´re a mountain-climber. You have to take a boat or ferry there.
I did take a ferry there twice, on both visits. The ride takes about half an hour and on the way there the make a stop at a certian part of the lake
they call the "Echo Rock". One of the ferry-guides takes out a trumpet, blows it, and the sound reverberates and echoes in the most awesome way in
that you hear the echo about 10 seconds after the initial blow. Nothing mystical about this of course. But the guides then go on to tell legends and
tales of the area in an attempt to entertain the guests.
What I learned when arriving at the chapel is that the area contains some of the strongest magnetic anomalies found on the continent. And indeed, in
walking around there (specifically: a 500 foot walk from the chapel) I experienced a
dizziness and nausea like never before in nature. Leaving
the area, the dizziness faded away. Returning back to it, the dizziness returned. Anyone who wants to can try it out themselves. The tour-guides and
locals know exactly where that spot of land is.
Upon my second visit to the chapel I decided not to return to the ferry with the rest of the tourists but to stay in the area and walk around it. I
walked to the end of one side of it, thinking I might be able to walk back to the place I started off at with the ferry, but couldnt, for two reasons:
First of all, the path ended and was replaced by a rough mountain cliff. Second of all, to my left side, there was barbed wire and a sign of the
german military reading "No Trespassing". Just why there was a barbed wire in military-caution on this otherwise lovely half-isle is still a mystery
to me. If you ever go there yourself, walk all the way down to the end of the half-island and see for yourself.
