beer garden out front.

Getting There & Away
The private
Bayerische Oberlandbahn
(BOB; 08024-997 171;
www.bayerischeoberlandbahn.de
)
runs hourly trains between Bad Tölz and Munich
Hauptbahnhof (€11.10, 50 minutes). Alternatively, take the S2 from central Munich to
Holzkirchen, then change to the BOB. In Holzkirchen make sure you board the Bad
Tölz-bound portion of the train.
Chiemsee
08051
Most foreign visitors arrive at the shores of the Bavarian Sea - as Chiemsee is affection-
ately known - in search of King Ludwig II's Schloss Herrenchiemsee. The lake's natural
beauty and water sports make the area popular with de-stressing city dwellers, and many
affluent Müncheners own weekend retreats by its shimmering waters.
The towns of Prien am Chiemsee and, about 5km south, Bernau am Chiemsee (both on
the Munich-Salzburg rail line) are perfect bases for exploring the lake. Of the two towns,
Prien is by far the larger and livelier. If you're day tripping to Herrenchiemsee, conveni-
ently interconnecting transport is available. To explore further, you'll probably need a set
of wheels.
