The Prien runs 32 kilometers via Sachrang, Aschau i. Chiemgau and then flows into the "Sheep-wash Bay" of Lake Chiemsee near Prien am Chiemsee. It is one of the longest torrents in the Bavarian Alps and is the second largest tributary to Lake Chiemsee after the Tiroler Ache.

🌊 The Prien – A Wild Stream with Character
Origin: Rises at Spitzstein near Erl in Tyrol, directly on the Austrian border.

Course: Flows through Sachrang, Aschau im Chiemgau, Frasdorf, and Prien am Chiemsee before flowing into Schafwaschen Bay of Lake Chiemsee.

Length: Approximately 45.7 km, with an elevation gain of over 620 meters – one of the longest wild streams in the Bavarian Alps.

Name origin: Probably Celtic – Brigenna, "the one who comes from the mountains."

🏞️ Nature & Culture along the Prien
Prien Valley River Landscape: A themed trail with 42 stations, wooden steles, and the mascots Toni & Vroni (rainbow trout), who guide visitors through geology, legends, and regional peculiarities.

Eichental: The green heart of Prien am Chiemsee – ideal for walks, picnics, or quiet moments.

Special features: Waterfalls, rocky gorges, alpine pastures – and sections where the river disappears underground and later reappears.
