Tegernsee

Description:

• Situated some 50km south-east of Munich, Lake Tegernsee has been a magnet for tourists for many years. Not only can visitors indulge in endless leisure pursuits like swimming, cycling, walking and sailing, it is above all its idyllic location which makes this area special. The lake nestles at the bottom of a range of mountains which rise up from the water's edge, among them Wallberg (1732m) and Risserkogel (1826m). Hikers will be well and truly in their element here, while the less energetic will enjoy the lovely route to Schliersee. Because of the lake's popularity, there are plenty of hotels, guest houses, pubs and cafés located on its shores. The easiest way of getting here from Munich is to take the S-Bahn (S2) to Holzkirchen and then the train to Tegernsee.
