This lake, home to "Frauenchiemsee" and "Herrenchiemsee" islands, is truly a feast for the eyes, a cultural highlight to any vacation, as well as a paradise for fans of aquatic sports.
The countryside surrounding the lake ranges from gentle hills and moorlands which are home to even more lakes, such as the Eggstätt-Hemhofer lake district, to forested ridges and the rugged rock faces of the Chiemgau Alps.
A picturebook landscape - and you get to cycle through it!
The bike route which takes you around the shores of the Chiemsee is an absolute classic - one which is loved and appreciated by locals and visitors alike. And with such an extensive network of cycle paths, you can always find those more secluded trails you have been looking for.
