Herrenchiemsee Palace

Herrenchiemsee was intended to be King Ludwig II’s most magnificent palace, more expensive than Linderhof and Neuschwanstein combined. However, when King Ludwig II died, it was far from finished. Yet, even incomplete, it enchants hundreds of thousands every year. The “Bavarian Versailles” is reachable only by boat. Through the grand staircase, visitors reach the completed rooms on the upper floor, including the grand Hall of Mirrors, which serves as a concert hall during the Herrenchiemsee Festival every year. The magnificent State Bedroom is among the other highlights of every tour. More…

Munich

White sausages, Oktoberfest, football – these are all synonymous with Bavaria’s capital. In addition to hosting the annual Oktoberfest, Munich’s cityscape is characterized by its centuries-old buildings, culture, and museums. The Hofbräuhaus, opened in 1589, is a true tradition for visitors. It’s often referred to as the “northernmost city of Italy” because of the warm foehn wind blowing from the south and the Alps standing like a painting on the horizon. It’s no wonder Munich is considered the most livable city in Germany. More…

Hochfelln

Hochfelln is the viewing terrace of the Chiemgau. Hochfelln and Hochgern, two neighboring mountains, characterize the southeastern end of Lake Chiemsee and catch the eye immediately.

Berchtesgaden

The German town on the border with Austria is not only known for its biosphere reserve, which stretches from Lake Königssee to the Watzmann, but also for its role in the Nazi era. The Documentation Obersalzberg Museum deals with the topic of the “Führer’s restricted area.” South of the town lies Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest,” the Kehlsteinhaus mountain guest house. The salt mine and the Watzmann thermal bath are also very popular with tourists. More…

Salzburg

Austria’s fourth-largest city is known not only for its history but above all as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – hence it’s affectionately called the “Mozart city.” The historic city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and thanks to the annual Salzburg Festival, the city has gained international significance. Today, Salzburg is considered an important trade fair and congress city. More…

Fraueninsel

The Fraueninsel is the second-largest of the three islands in Lake Chiemsee, after Herreninsel. The 15.5-hectare, car-free Fraueninsel is home to about 300 permanent residents in around 50 houses. The special island atmosphere is based on the juxtaposition of culture, religion, and tradition: In addition to traditional pottery workshops, fishing operations, and the Benedictine nunnery, there are the picturesque and well-kept houses and gardens of the islanders, beer gardens, and the old tree population with two over 1000-year-old linden trees. Small paths lead through the village and around the Fraueninsel. It can be circumnavigated on foot in 20 minutes and is also wheelchair accessible. More…
