Discover the area by bike:

The Chiemsee is surrounded by a beautiful cycle path. This allows you to easily cycle around the lake while enjoying the villages and landscapes along the way. In addition, there are always great vantage points and places to rest, where you can enjoy the surroundings to the fullest.

Explore the islands:

There are two islands on the Chiemsee: Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee. Herrenchiemsee is known for its palace, which was modeled after Versailles. Frauenchiemsee is a quiet place with a monastery and a pretty beach promenade.

Go swimming:

The Chiemsee is a popular bathing lake and offers the opportunity to jump into the water in many places. However, if you are looking for a special bathing experience, you should definitely visit the lido in Übersee. Here you will not only find a large lawn and clean sanitary facilities, but also a restaurant directly on the lake, where you can strengthen yourself after swimming.

Hiking at the lake:

There are many hiking trails along the banks of the Chiemsee with fantastic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. If you are looking for a particularly beautiful route, I recommend the circular hiking trail around the lake. This path can be walked in stages and offers you the opportunity to view the beauty of Lake Chiemsee from different perspectives. There are also many sights and rest areas along the way where you can rest and enjoy the surroundings.
