The Chiemgau
From Lake Chiemsee to the Chiemgauer Alps — an Upper Bavarian foothills landscape of lakes, moors and gently rising mountains.
AI-generated illustrative imageThe Chiemgau is located in the southeast of Upper Bavaria, roughly between the Inn and Salzach rivers and around the Chiemsee, Bavaria's largest lake. Towards the south, the hilly foothills of the Alps transition into the Chiemgauer Alps, with moors, meadows and smaller lakes in between. The mixture of water, forest and mountains makes the area a versatile destination for cycling, hiking and swimming. The expansive view from the shore across the Chiemsee to the mountains characterizes the landscape.
