The “Bavarian Sea”, King Ludwig’s island palace and the first real mountains behind it.
The Chiemsee lies at the foot of the Alps with two islands in it: Herrenchiemsee, where Ludwig II built his Versailles, and Frauenchiemsee with its monastery and smoked fish. Behind the lake the Chiemgau Alps rise gently enough for family hikes, and Bad Reichenhall is an old salt town with a spa.
