The Lake

Lake Chiemsee, known as the “Bavarian Sea”, stretches out against the breathtaking backdrop of the Chiemgau Alps. Here, nature and culture come together in perfect harmony, creating a paradise for both those seeking tranquility and outdoor enthusiasts. There are countless opportunities for outdoor activities – from hiking, cycling, sailing and kitesurfing to stand-up paddling.
But Lake Chiemsee is more than just a paradise for active pursuits. On Herreninsel, the magnificent Herrenchiemsee Palace rises majestically above the island, commissioned by King Ludwig II and inspired by the Palace of Versailles. Fraueninsel, meanwhile, captivates visitors with its historic monastery and traditional fish smokehouses.
