label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the steep mountains along the western shore of the Königssee, Bavaria, as seen from the ferry stop known as Kessel Anlegeplatz. Most notably, the sharp, craggy peaks of the Hachelkopf are visible at center, above the relatively miniscule towers of St. Bartholomew's Church, which is situated in the middle distance at left along the water's edge. The flat surface of the lake extends from the foreground at right to the middle distance at left, and is bounded at right by the mostly wooded, precipitous slopes of neighboring mountains. At center upper, the jagged twin peaks of the Hachelkopf form a high, serrated horizon. Faint, puffy clouds float in the sky above.
