Hiking holiday in Chiemgau
Hiking in Chiemgau & around Lake Waginger See
The hiking region around Lake Waginger See and Chiemgau is one of the most beautiful in Bavaria. Gentle hills, idyllic lake landscapes and impressive Alpine panoramas make the area the perfect destination for active holidaymakers, families and nature lovers. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely valley hike or a mountain tour with spectacular views, there’s a route to suit every taste.
A special highlight is the hike to the Unternbergalm near Ruhpolding. Thanks to the Unternbergbahn cable car, you can easily reach the rustic alpine hut – also ideal for families with children. Another top destination is the Hochfelln, considered one of the best vantage points in the Chiemgau region. The Hochfelln cable car takes you quickly to the summit at 1,674 metres, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Lake Chiemsee, the Central Alps and the Alpine foothills.
Those who prefer a quieter pace will find a real natural gem in the Schönramer Filz near Petting. The barrier-free circular trail leads through one of Bavaria’s most important high moors and offers exciting insights into rare plant and animal species. Information boards along the way explain the special features of this sensitive landscape.
