Lots of water for lots of holiday

One of the most beautiful landscapes is a great pre-requisite for relaxing. And for a proper summer

holiday you have to have water - for swimming, splashing around, surfing, sailing or having a ride on a

boat and, and, and … In the Chiemsee-Alpenland there is not only one of the biggest lakes in Germany

but also forest and mountain lakes, rivers, streams and waterfalls. Don‘t forget our lovely open air

swimming pools. There is a great variety and diversity for recreation on or in the water on offer.

You should definitely try this. Take a boat out onto the lake very early in the morning and

enjoy the silence. When the sun rises, nature begins to wake up. Each day is very special,

every sunrise is different. As a fisherwoman a good catch is naturally an essential part of it

for me. Then it has to be smoked, fried in the pan or cooked in a pot as quickly as possible.

Fish always tastes best this way! Even as a child I went out with my dad on the lake. Back

then it was already obvious that I would become a fisherwoman like my son-in-law later

and now my grandchildren.

fisherwoman on the chiemsee.

The Herreninsel with the King Ludwig II’s

palace and the Fraueninsel with the old

Monastery of the Benedictine nuns and the

picturesque fishing village are always worth

a trip. Let yourself be taken back to times

gone by by visiting the Carolingian gateway

hall, the oldest building on the Fraueninsel

from 782 A.D. No less touching is the

roman cathedral where you can find the

tomb of the beatified Irmingard, an early

abbess of the Frauenchiemsee monastery

and patron saint of the Chiemgau. The

monastery‘s garden and the marzipan

in the monastery‘s shop are widely

famous, a „must“ for connoisseurs. If you

fancy absorbing a little bit of history the

Chiemsee boat trips will take you there. Or

or visit the sights.

and dance away a waltz on the waves.

Whoever wants to experience something

leisurely, old fashioned can go across on

the Inn ferry. The wooden ferry between

Kiefersfelden and Ebbs is dragged along by

a long high-wire over the 115 metre wide

river. There used to a lot of these types of

ferries but nowadays they are rare. Beautiful

views of the river and the mountains can

be seen from the Inn boat trip between

Oberaudorf and Kiefersfelden. Further

down the Inn, the Inn boat trip offers

spectacular views of Wasserburg of the old

trading town. The bow of the Inn embraces

the old town with its colourful house fronts

as it is on a peninsula which can be well

seen especially from the boat.

nestling in the bow of the Inn.

The last ice age is a really long time ago, but the Chiemsee-

Alpenland, the Eggstätt-Hemhofer Seenplatte can thank the

ice age for the largest and oldest national park (conservation

area) in the Chiemsee-Alpenland. 18 lakes, which are north of

the Chiemsee, belong to it. With the retreat of the glaciers huge

blocks of ice were left which later melted. At these points hollows

were formed, and were filled with ground water and became the

lowland plain full of lakes. Today in the national park, providing

you show a little bit of consideration for the environment, you can

go for wonderful bike rides, go hiking, swimming, bird watching

and admire the water lilies.

Alongside the many lakes in the foothills of the Alps, the Inn and

Mangfall rivers shape the Chiemsee-Alpenland. On the sailor‘s

trail in Neubeuern and in the Inn Museum in Rosenheim you can

see how important the Inn was and is for the region The Inn as a

shipping route brought work, goods and not least growth to the

region. Also the many mills on the streams brought development,

which can be seen along the mills trail in Nußdorf, which shows

how hydropower and engineering history belong together.

The waterfalls let you feel and experience the force of water

directly. Children also love this natural spectacle. In the Chiemsee-

Alpenland you can find the Tatzlwurm waterfall nr. Oberaudorf,

where legend has it, a fire-spewing dragon used to live.

For all of those who like to view the water from further away we

still have a good idea: take a bike ride along the lake and riverside

or along the Inn embankment. It‘s flat and leisurely with lovely

views of the mountains, meadows scattered with fruit trees and

even villages adorned with flowers. And a hearty snack in the beer

garden along the way with Bavarian specialities and a cool large

beer never do any harm.

FIRE AND ICEExciting wonders of nature are everywhere in the Chiemsee-Alpenland. You can enjoy the beauty or

find out more about the significance of water for the region.

For me there is nothing more beautiful than being on the move in the Chiemsee-

Alpenland. The early morning sunrise on a summit, nature‘s magical moments: the

mountains are always a dream for me. If you climb up a lovely route, well-equipped, going

through gorges and hiking over meadows and then when you reach the top a hearty

snack at a mountain hut, then this is pure relaxation and what’s more, a real pleasure.

Really close to heaven

ingrid Hartl, national mountain hiking guide from the 1st German mountain hiking

school Kaiser-Reich in oberaudorf-Kiefersfelden.

The mountains in Chiemsee-Alpenland always offer you magnificent views and impressive wonders

of nature. Would you like to get there easily? Then our cable cars are just right for you. Get to the top

It‘s quick and easy to get up the mountains

with one of our four gondolas but it‘s a little

bit more tiring once you arrive at the top.

Then you have to decide between all the

different possibilities. How about: enjoying

the impressive panorama view into the

valley or watching the paragliders and their

new capers in awe? Or would you rather

soak up the sun on the terrace or try some

Bavarian delicacies? No problem. You can

do that too.

FOR FAST ATHLETESThe mountains are for hiking! True, but there‘s so much more: whether it‘s mountain biking,

rock-climbing or other outdoor adventures: our offering will make your heart beat faster!

Friends of a fast bike ride up hill and down

dale are spot-on here in the Chiemsee-

Alpenland. Ride up the mountain until your

muscles are on fire. A quick rest at the top,

take a large swig from the water bottle and

admire the 360° view. Then hop back on

the saddle and head down to the valley

again. It doesn‘t matter if you‘re fit or not or

just left the office - we‘ve got bike routes

to suit every ability. Guided tours will show

you completely new routes. And if you‘d

rather leave your own bike at home then

you can rent a good one from here. Also

a large network of cycle paths can take

you through the Chiemsee-Alpenland.

Perhaps you‘d like to bike along one or

several stages of the Mozart cycle route

(Mozartradweg), the Salt route (Salinenweg)

or the Bodensee (Lake Constance) -

Königssee cycle path. They are mainly on

roads with very little traffic and pass by Mountainbiken at Chiemsee-Alpenland

fun. this floodlit slope can even be covered with artificial

snow. naturally you can also ski in our ski resorts during

the day as well or try skiing for the first time in one of

the many ski schools in our region. lots of cross-country

ski runs are waiting for you as well. or if you want to be

more on your own, then set out on one of the winter

also has something to do with so much

many possibilities for the adventurous that

you simply have to come and try them out

for yourself one after the other. A little tip

for all of you who need to freshen up after a

day in the mountains: jump into one of our

many lakes or outdoor pools. Or prevent

getting sore muscles by going to a thermal

bath for a day of pampering with sauna,

massage and swimming.

Holiday is the time when you can decide what you want to do. If you don‘t feel like going anywhere

today, or doing some sport or activity, or anything? Then just look for a sun lounger under a tree and

let your eyes go towards the mountains. Or: you discover a place in the sun, some birds are singing

and a cool drink. A thick exciting book and nobody to disturb you when you‘re reading it. Aren‘t those

great alternatives? Shade from the trees, meadows full of flowers, mountain views and blue skies in the

Chiemsee-Alpenland offer great alternatives for a really lazy day. Tomorrow you‘ll have more energy

again and feel like doing something.

feeling for the body: pure relaxation!

But even the other pools in the Chiemsee-

Alpenland are always worth a visit with

slides for the whole family, with sauna

and wellness area or special children’s

programme. Whoever can‘t get enough

of the pampering programme can also

try out an ayurveda or thalasso massage

or an aroma treatment. After a full day

of well-being, relaxation and enjoyment

you are nearly a new person and the daily

monotony recedes into the distance.

Further pools can be found in our excursion

brochure.

Enticing destinations are also the Prienavera

in Prien and the Chiemgau thermal baths in

Bad Endorf.

The thermal baths in Bad Aibling don´t only offer pure wellness but also fascinating architecture.

NATURALLYA healthy holiday in a healthy region is, of course, a natural combination in the

Chiemsee-Alpenland.

An important prerequisite for a successful holiday in our

region is nature. Clearly a conscious and considerate

interaction with nature is compulsory. And thus it comes as

no surprise that we have national parks and nature reserves

such Irlhamer Moor nr. Wasserburg or the Kupferbach valley

nr. Feldkirchen-Westerham. Numerous interesting nature trails

in the Chiemsee-Alpenland will acquaint you with our region

and its exceptional qualities from Auwald nr. Bruckmühl to

the Samerberger felts.

Moorland in the Chiemsee-Alpenland is not only beautiful

and interesting but also important for your health. For more

than 160 years the proved healing power of the „black gold“

from Bad Aibling has been used successfully medically and

developed even further. A mud bath improves the body‘s

defences and activates the self-healing of the body.

Moor is healthy healing power from the earth. It helps to ease

inflammation, aches and pains and revitalises the muscles. In

Bad Feilnbach they have been treating people successfully

with mud baths for years. Anyway the health competence is

very good in the Chiemsee-Alpenland so you can get back to

health, improve your health or fully recuperate quickly.

Do something for you and your health.

GENTLE ACTION

Don‘t overdo it is your motto with sport? You‘re right!

Do you actually know what cycling for

pleasure is? No? Then try it out for yourself

here. Relaxing cycling along the flats, along

the Inn dyke or along the lakeside shores.

The beautiful landscape of the foothills of

the Alps is best suited for a bike tour which

helps to improve your fitness without

overdoing things. Especially if you make a

detour to the picturesque villages. You have

to visit a very romantic chapel and take a

short break in a tranquil beer garden.

Even ramblers get their money‘s worth.

Whoever feels like it can combine moving

their body with something for the brain.

Very different theme trails are waiting for

you with interesting information about

the artists’ colony in Brannenburg or the

millstone quarries in Neubeuern. You

can re-discover the past again on the

kneipp path and barefoot path in Prien am

Chiemsee. In the Eichental national park

this means take off your shoes and feel

the ground under your feet. And before

we forget: swimming in the lake or in the

outdoor pool is naturally always a good

choice if you like sport but don‘t feel like

overdoing it.

For the Heart and all your senses

I feel at home in a range of different things but above all in culture and especially in music.

The Inntal has been home or a second home for many literary figures and other artists

since the 19th century which makes the region special for me. This is especially true for

music which belongs to this scenery and is part of our tradition.

If you think of Upper Bavaria then you quickly see in your mind‘s eye traditional maids’ dresses and

leather trousers, balconies of picturesque farmhouses covered in flowers, maypoles and tankards. This

all belongs to daily life in the Chiemsee-Alpenland - but that‘s not all. We can‘t list all the things, music,

theatre and art on offer, but also tradition and lots more. We can only recommend one thing: visit us for

yourself and you‘ll be astonished, but above all: you‘ll enjoy it.

ALWAYS THE MOST

BEAUTIFUL PLACES

it is well-known that nuns and monks had a special

feel to find the most beautiful places on earth

for their heavenly job. you can be sure that it‘s

worthwhile visiting one of the monasteries in our

region. the best views, picturesque structures and

gardens smelling of flowers are free of charge. the

noble people quickly copied the clergy: palaces

such as Hohenaschau and Herrenchiemsee are only

two examples of this. you can only view schloss

maxlrain from the outside, but this is compensated

for with a brewery and inn where you will be well-

catered for.

This is what summer feels like in Chiemsee-Alpenland - for example in Rosenheim.

soutHeRn ZEST FOR LIFEItaly isn‘t far away. You can feel this in our lively towns and villages.

An infectious zest for life begins to spread when the

restaurants, pizzerias and the famous Bavarian beer

gardens entice you to sit outside. A hearty meal and

a beer, a glass of wine and some pasta or to round off

a successful holiday a colourful cocktail? If you can‘t

decide then simply enjoy the taste one after the other.

How about a bit of window shopping and shopping

in the numerous small and large shops or how about

some culture?

In Kolbermoor a tour of the town will give you

new knowledge about how Bavaria‘s industry and

architecture have developed.

In Rosenheim you can discover „sinister and strange

things“ about the history of the town or visit

the original locations of the Rosenheim Cops. In

Wasserburg you can dive into history and go down

into the beer catacombs. Fun is guaranteed for large

and small guests alike.

The best music and most beautiful places for events go hand in hand in

Chiemsee-Alpenland, for example in the Amerang Palace.

Excellent artists and famous small orchestras are always guests in

the Chiemsee-Alpenland again and invite you to infectious musical

events. It doesn‘t matter if it’s the Herrenchiemsee festival in the

cathedral on Frauenchiemsee and in the hall or mirrors of the

Ludwig II’s fairy tale palace or the opera festivals at Gut Immling,

with Festivo in Hohenaschau - friends of classical music and opera

have the choice between high-calibre concerts. The atmosphere

at events in the Renaissance quadrangle of Schloss Amerang or at

the music days Oberaudorf-Reisach is especially beautiful. Good

against the autumn blues is the guitar festival „Strings on the side“

which attracts famous soloists and small groups to Bad Aibling in

November.

FOR MUSIC FRIENDSNot only, but above all in summer music is in the air.

Brass band music is simply always part of it: it doesn‘t matter

whether a maypole is being erected, the autumn festival is on

the agenda or another festival is being celebrated. It becomes

really colourful thanks to the beautiful dirndl dresses (dresses

with bodices and aprons). The men present you with hats with

bound chamois hair, or other magnificent decorative hats. The

couples spin on the dance floor. Their dresses twirling. The

Bavarian folk dancers (shoe slapping) were on before, and now

the Goaßlschnalzer (“the whip crackers”) have been cracking

their whips in a type of Bavarian folkdance.

Is it a cliché? It can‘t really be as good as that? Yes it is, as

traditions are alive, are simply a part of life here and are genuine.

Whoever celebrates a lot, naturally needs to eat well - Bavarian

delicacies from smoked fish on a stick (usually mackerel),

barbecued sausages and even baked almonds are always there.

One of the largest, most beautiful and famous public festivals in the

region is the autumn festival in Rosenheim at the end of August each year.

PLAY HARDLet yourself be carried away by the zest of life in Bavaria, from traditions and from numerous

celebrations which will touch your heart.

Often you can‘t buy luxury with money: for example the fantastic scenery between the

Chiemsee and the Chiemgauer Alps, Aschau‘s location under the cliffs of the Kampenwand.

the Chiemsee crayfish then I know that it can‘t get any nicer and better than this.
