Lakes & Towns in Upper Bavaria

ITH ITS GENTLE MORAINE HILLS
and rugged mountains created during
the Ice Age, peaceful moor lakes and rapid mountain streams, and
picturesque towns and villages, the sub-Alpine region of Upper Bavaria is full
of natural beauty. This is especially true of Tölzer Land and the Chiemgau,
both of which are true havens for holiday-makers. For sports enthusiasts
there is skiing, hiking, cycling, and windsurfing in places such as Reit im
Winkl and on Spitzingsee. Culture buffs can visit ancient monasteries and
Baroque churches, among them Frauenchiemsee and Hohenaschau.
Weekend-trippers have an abundance of excursions to choose from - for
example Kloster Reutberg or Tegernsee - and spa-lovers can recuperate and
relax in the therapeutic Kneipp water treatments
offered at spa towns such as Bad Tölz. From
Munich, Tölzer Land and Chiemgau are reached by
car via A8 and regional roads B318 and B472; there
are also excellent rail and bus links to the region.
