No Experience Required

You roll away from Munich beneath a sky the color of river glass and the van takes the highway toward the mountains. As the city loosens its grip, the Bavarian plain gives way to cliffs that seem to rise by will; firs lean in as if to whisper directions. By mid-morning the world has thinned to a single blue bowl—Lake Konigssee—its surface so still the boat wakes look offended when they appear. The electric-boat cruise across Königssee is the spine of the day: a precise, almost silent glide between steep limestone walls where calls echo back like someone answering for the landscape.
