On the daily trips you will cycle through the landscape of the beautiful alpine foothills and marvel at its variety. The crystal clear rivers and lakes are there to refresh you.

  • Nature lovers: The Chiemgau region delights with its lakes, forests and fantastic mountains.

Highlights

Lake Chiemsee
The largest lake in Bavaria is the Chiemsee, which is otherwise known as the "Bavarian Sea". The name has a kernel of truth in it: not only does the lake, which has an area of 80 square kilometres, have tides like the sea, it also originated from the primeval Thetis Sea which once covered almost half of Europe.It has three islands - Herreninsel, Fraueninsel and uninhabited Krautinsel - which all benefit from frequent ferry connections to the mainland. On Herreninsel King Ludwig built the castle Herrenchiemsee, while Fraueninsel has an 8th century Benedictine convent.

Prien
The breathtaking lakeside vista of Chiemsee framed by towering Alpine mountains - that can only be Prien am Chiemsee. Prien am Chiemsee offers visitors a truly unique combination of lake life, mountains, nature and culture. The Chiemsee-Region is known as “the Bavarian seaside”, and there is a whole host of different ways to spend a happy holiday in this beautiful part of Germany.

Palace of Herrenchiemsee
In 1873 King Ludwig II of Bavaria acquired the Herreninsel as the location for his Royal Palace of Herrenchiemsee (New Palace). Modelled on Versailles, this palace was built as a "Temple of Fame" for King Louis XIV of France, whom the Bavarian monarch fervently admired.

Island Frauenchiemsee
The Benedictine abbey Frauenwörth on the Island Frauenchiemsee was founded by King Ludwig the German in 860. Today the abbey offers visitors peaceful retreats. The gatehouse which is located in front of the abbey, is the only surviving building from the Carolingian period.

Kampenwand Cable Car
The Kampenwand Cable Car travel swiftly to the summit (1,500 m ASL) that affords fascinating views over the central Alps, Lake Chiemsee and its islands. 30 minutes is all it takes to walk the panorama trail that is mostly all on one level.

On your way back, you will stop at the island Fraueninsel, where you will find a well-known abbey (the oldest still-existing German-speaking female convent on the northern side of the Alps).

The day starts with an atmospheric boat trip on lake Chiemsee from Prien to Seebruck. Back on land, you will cycle via Truchtlaching an der Alz to the monastery Seeon with its famous buildings and the romantic lake. In the pretty town Gstadt, you will again see the magical blue of Lake Chiemsee and cycle via Breitbrunn and Rimsting back to your hotel.
