Chiemgau spreads around Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria within a radius of about 50 km. Here, historical-cultural peculiarities and breathtaking nature come together. A house or an apartment is perfectly suited to explore the region according to your own ideas and independently. Whether you're watching birds nesting, standing in front of one of the many summit crosses while hiking, or admiring orchids along the hiking trails, you know you're in the right place. In the south, the highest peak, Sonntagshorn, awaits you at 1,961 meters above sea level. Other popular excursion destinations include Kampenwald (1669 meters), Hochgern (1748 meters), and Geigelstein (1813 meters). From here, you have a breathtaking view of the Alps. Amidst this varied and impressive nature, you spend a relaxing and beautiful time in a house in Chiemgau. Cycling tours and extensive hikes are excellent ways to get to know the Chiemgau lakes and the Alps. If you like, shorten the paths with one of the mountain railways and enjoy the beautiful landscape. On a bike tour, you ride along romantic streams and crystal-clear waters. With a length of about 1,200 km, the cycle path network offers excellent opportunities that can hardly be explored during a single stay in a private accommodation. Whether leisurely with a touring bike or sportier with a mountain bike, unique views and a fantastic nature experience are guaranteed. Cycle around Lake Waginger or Lake Chiemsee and enjoy the pure air of the foothills of the Alps. Of course, you can not only cycle and hike here, but also ride horses, play golf, and climb. Snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoe hiking, winter hiking, ice skating, and alpine skiing - adults, seniors, teenagers, and children can also expect a paradise in Chiemgau in winter. In your private accommodation, you spend your holiday in the mountains not in an anonymous hotel, but in an idyllic holiday home with lake views in a quiet location. Far from stress and hustle, the untouched nature enchants your senses, and you can relax excellently. Snowboarders and skiers can look forward to 43 kilometers of slopes in the Reit im Winkl ski area, while cross-country skiers can expect more than 500 kilometers of trails. In the Hochfelln ski area, there are about eleven kilometers of downhill runs. All ski slopes are well-prepared and offer ideal conditions for professionals, advanced skiers, and beginners. From your affordable apartment, families with children can drive to the lifts at Bründling-Alm. Here, you will have a lot of fun in the snow. But of course, the place has much more to offer besides breathtaking nature. A very popular attraction is Hohenaschau Castle, built in the last third of the 12th century by Konrad and Arnold von Hirnsberg. Significant noble families developed the castle into the center of their dominion, thus shaping the land and people in the western Chiemgau. The legendary Fraueninsel is located in the middle of Lake Chiemsee and can be comfortably circumnavigated in 20 minutes. About a third of the total area is occupied by Frauenwörth Abbey. This was founded in 722 by Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria and consecrated in 782 by Bishop Virgil of Salzburg. Today, the abbey is managed and inhabited by Benedictine nuns. Prien is one of the most important hubs for visitors to Fraueninsel and Herreninsel around the Bavarian Sea. Year-round, you can reach the islands by boat from here.
