Attractions

Bad Wiessee offers plenty of summer activities, including sailing or windsurfing on the lake, mountain biking, and hiking. A drive up the Wallberg Road winds through the Moorsalm pasture to an altitude of 1,000m (3,300 ft.). There's also plenty of golf and tennis. In winter, experienced alpine skiers are drawn to the Wallberg, and there are many cross-country trails as well. Wintertime hiking is also a possibility, as about 100km (62 miles) of paths are cleared of snow. The less athletic can enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides. Finally, you can also take a mountain cable car, which travels 1,530m (5,100 ft.) high.

The town of Bad Wiessee has an old-world charm. It's best explored via the old-fashioned steam train or by taking a carriage ride. During the annual lake festivals in summer, locals don traditional clothing and parade through the town. Worth the trip is the nearby Tegernsee Ducal palace, which contains the former monastery of St. Quinn, founded in A.D. 746.
