Region
Lake Chiemsee, the islands, the Alpine foothills. On the water in summer, in the stillness in winter.
Region
Cycling round the lake
A good 60 kilometres, almost flat, always along the shore. Bicycles are ready to borrow.
To the islands
Boats to the islands leave from the pier in Gstadt. One island is small and quiet, the other large, with a park.
Swimming
From our own jetty or one of the small bays along the shore.
Hiking in the foothills
Half an hour by car to the trails, from easy to long.
Markets
Saturday markets in the villages around, with cheese, fish and vegetables.
Cross-country skiing
Trails in the foothills, and right behind the house when there is snow.
Ice
When the lake or the ponds freeze, people go skating. Only where it has been declared safe.
Thermal baths
Warm pools with a view of the mountains, half an hour away.
Stillness
Winter on the lake is empty and bright. A walk along the frosted shore is often enough.
