EDIT
There are other fixed points, e.g.
\documentclass[border=9,tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,intersections}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.fractals}
\begin{document}
\def\n{20}
\foreach\i in{1,...,\n}{
\tikz{
\clip circle(4);
\tikzset{scale={pow(3,\i/\n)},rotate=60*\i/\n}
\draw[decoration=Koch snowflake]decorate{decorate{decorate{decorate{decorate{(-6.4285714,-1.2371791)--(3.5714286,-1.2371791)}}}}} ;
\scoped[transparency group,opacity=\i/\n]\draw[decoration=Koch snowflake,fill=white]
decorate{decorate{decorate{decorate{decorate{decorate{(-6.4285714,-1.2371791)--(3.5714286,-1.2371791)}}}}}};
}
}
\end{document}
without rotation

\tikzset{

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[Koch curve={order=\order,step=500pt/3^(\order)}] l-system -- cycle;
