Where is the Tegernsee??

Location Tegernsee
The Tegernsee is located in the south of Germany. It is surrounded by smaller mountains that are up to 1500 meters high. They belong to the Bavarian Alps. Behind the Tegernsee rises in about 30 kilometers away the famous Karwendelgebirge with some second thousand.

The Tegernsee region is one of the oldest recreational areas in Germany. Due to the proximity to Munich (just over an hour by car), many Munich come here on weekends to recover. The lake and the low mountain ranges around convey the most beautiful alpine romance in Upper Bavaria.

Arrival Tegernsee

Munich is about 50 kilometers from Tegernsee. There is a good connection with the train (Bob). By car via the A8 motorway, exit Holzkirchen also from Munich to the Tegernsee. The closest airports are Munich and Innsbruck, both 90 km away. More flight connections are available for Munich Airport, above all the flights to Munich are cheaper than to Innsbruck.

But the old town Innsbruck is more beautiful and worth taking a look!

The enjoyment of nature with the lake and the hilly mountains is usually the focus of a holiday on Lake Tegernsee.

Hotel on the Tegernsee

Which hotels are beautiful on the Tegernsee?
As far as my experiences at the Tegernsee are, most of the hotels around the Tegernsee have a lot of catching up to do on renovations. For a long time, not much has been invested and this has put the hotels behind the hotel in the Achensee, which is only one kilometer away in Tyrol. And if you also want to hike in the Karwendel or enjoy the great nature in winter, spring or autumn, I recommend a day trip to the Tegernsee – maybe even at the toll-free journey over the Tegernsee – and to stay directly in the Karwendelgebirge.

Over the Tegernsee

What should one know about the history of Tegernsee??
The Tegernsee goes back to a glacier lake. In the recent past, the region was dominated by the monastery Tegernsee. In 746, the Benedictines laid the foundation stone for the monastery Tegernsee. From this developed not only the well-known brewery and the inn, but also the prosperity of the region.

The holiday guests came to the Tegernsee valley after the secularization. Well-known ambassador for the holiday region was the Bavarian king Max I at the beginning of the 19th century. He made the former Benedictine abbey a summer residence. This drew many people from Munich and many nobles of damiligen society to the lake near Munich. He felt particularly well in the “Wildbad” in Kreuth, specifically in the “Whey and bathing establishment”, which was built here for the cure of the king, the bath in the whey of beauty and the water of the well being of health should serve.

Local products from the Tegernsee
Of course, there are different farmers to buy milk and, above all, cheese. The best-known and probably oldest product of the region, which still finds its ripping sales today, is the Tegernseer beer.
