THE VACATION REGION OF TEGERNSEE-SCH LIERSEE-WEN
DELSTEIN
| Where the Heart of Bavaria Beats: |
|
| A single, special moment can be enough to make an entire vacation unforgettable: Like standing on the shores of Tegernsee Lake, with the waves gently rippling across the water, the blue sky as radiant as the azure waters and Wallberg Mountain rising before you on the horizon. Even if you are only taking a short break from a strenuous seminar in a comfortable nearby conference hotel, you will surely feel it: The heart of Bavaria beats right here, in the County of Miesbach. | |
| Miesbach County, home to the Tegernsee Valley and Schliersee-Wendelstein region, is one of Germany’s most beautiful vacation areas. Located south of Munich, it is also very convenient to reach. The many world-renowned sights and landmarks offer ideal destinations for day excursions, while the southernmost mountains are nothing short of breathtaking. Atop peaks such as Wallberg and Wendelstein, spectacular views of the Alps and green valleys abound. In the north, a fascinating landscape of rolling hills and moor lakes awaits, as does the picturesque Mangfall Valley. |
|
| The region’s 17 communities include popular cure and holiday towns, such as Tegernsee, Bad Wiessee, Rottach-Egern, Kreuth and Gmund, all in the Tegernsee Valley, and Bayrischzell, Schliersee and Fischbachau in the Schliersee-Wendelstein region. Enjoy a leisurely stroll down Seestrasse, the luxury shopping mile in Rottach-Egern, or try your luck in the new casino in Bad Wiessee. In Schliersee, you can taste Bavaria’s only homemade whiskey, or head to the town of Valley to listen to vintage sounds in the Organ Museum. On a whole, Miesbach’s rich tapestry of art and culture is as fine as any in Germany, and the local restaurants pride themselves in serving authentic Bavarian cuisine with an extra helping of hospitality. |
|
| For a contemplative retreat, or to explore the Bavarian religious tradition, make sure to visit the pilgrimage town of Birkenstein. The area’s churches feature splendid frescoes and altars by renowned artists, and such long-lived customs as Leonhardiritte, the Rosstag (in Rottach-Egern) and the Alt Schlierseer Kirchtag are events that continue to fascinate visitors. |
|
| The Tegernsee-Schliersee-Wendelstein region offers a wealth of recreational activities for young and old alike. In summer, nothing matches a refreshing swim in one of the nearby lakes, set against the backdrop of the mountains. Tegernsee and Schliersee are the largest bodies of water, but Seehamer Lake, near Weyarn, and the Hackensee, near Holzkirchen, offer idyllic alternatives. Beach volleyball courts are available in Tegernsee and Schliersee, and plenty of golf courses and riding stables are also nearby. Here, relaxation and adventure go hand in hand, as soaring, hang- gliding, climbing, hiking, mountain-biking, sailing and wind-surfing opportunities abound. | |
| The winter is also a high season, especially in the newly expanded ski resorts of Spitzingsee and Sutten, though skiers and snowboarders will find the long, groomed runs on Sudelfeld and Wendelstein Mountain to their liking, as well. Wallberg is home to Germany’s longest toboggan run, where sledders will enjoy the high-speed thrills, and the German Ski Federation has installed Nordic Activities Centers in Bayrischzell and Schliersee. Here, cross country skiing, Nordic snow walking and Nordic cruising are popular activities to explore. |
|
| Miesbach County’s health and weilness offering is just as impressive, including many world-class rehabilitation and cure facilities. Equally soothing are the iodine-sulphur spa in Bad Wiessee and the Kneipp facilities in Bayrischzell. |
