Holiday in the Chiemgau region

There where it's lovely

What’s typical for our home region? The scenery with the Chiemgau Alps, Marquartstein Castle as well as the Tyrolean Ache river, which winds its way from the Tyrol to the well-known Lake Chiemsee. The river has given the valley region its name - Achental.

But the people also shape this valley and the Chiemgau region. Did you know that the composer Richard Strauss lived in Marquartstein and created most of his symphonies here? Including the Alpine Symphony.

Countryside. Vast expanses. Panoramas.

During your Chiemgau holiday, take time to enjoy the beauty of the mountain landscape. Sit down on a bench. Listen to the bees. Drink fresh buttermilk on one of the mountain pastures. Let nature work its magic. The view extends right into neighbouring Austria to the Lofer (Rocky) Mountains and further to the High Tauern mountains. The mountains are a source of strength. Wouldn't you agree?

Mountains & Landmarks

Staffen, Kampenwand and Hochplatte are names that you’ll frequently hear when you stay with us. The Hochplatte is our local mountain, 1,568 metres high. The mountain railway runs from Marquartstein up to an altitude of 1,040 metres to the "Weidenau" high plateau.

Right opposite is the Staffen mountain, which is entirely forested, and the cliffs of the 1,669 m high Kampenwand mountain. It is the most popular photo motif in winter as well as in summer. By the way, the Kampenwand is the landmark of the Chiemgau Alps and has the largest summit cross in Bavaria - it’s even lit up.

To see it all, stay overnight with us at the Weßner Hof during your Chiemgau holiday,

Chiemgau Lakes

While we’re on the subject of landmarks, on the one hand, the Chiemgau region has a mountainous and hilly landscape. On the other hand, the many lakes characterise the Chiemgau region, indeed, you could also call it the Chiemgau lake district. The largest lake of them all is Lake Chiemsee, which is also a real landmark of our home area. It acts as a sort of midpoint for the Chiemgau region, which stretches about 50 km north and south of Lake Chiemsee - all the way to the Austrian border.

During your family holiday, you’re bound to make an excursion to Lake Chiemsee from the hotel, too. It’s only 10 km to Lake Chiemsee.
