クロイトの洞窟・トップ9

The castle restaurant is nicer and quieter, the service is friendly and the food is delicious, much nicer than the crowded Tegernsee brewery pub 😉

Beautiful park on Lake Tegernsee at the castle

The Hohenwaldeck Castle ruins are well worth seeing because they contain large remains of walls dating back to the High Middle Ages. More important, however, is their stunningly beautiful location high above Schliersee, offering unobstructed views of the lake and the mountains. The Bavarian State Forests have carefully secured the castle ruins, so that this historic and romantic site can now also be visited with children. The climb to the castle is steep and takes 40 minutes from Fischhaus-Neuhaus. Supplying the castle must have been very difficult in the Middle Ages. Access is now via a new wooden bridge, and large sections of the shield wall with some rusticated blocks can still be seen. This makes it easy to narrow down the first construction phase to the second half of the 13th century, the Staufer period. Several new benches have been installed, and the short path down to the viewing point is definitely worth the effort. It offers a fantastic view of Schliersee and the surrounding mountains.

Very nice easy hike with a great view of the Schliersee.

The driveway to the castle is gravel

The home of Tegernseer beer 🍻

Access to the castle ruins is closed due to renovation work and for safety reasons. The work is scheduled to be completed in autumn 2024. After that, the cultural and historical monument will be accessible again to enjoy the phenomenal view over the Schliersee.

Tegernsee Monastery was a Benedictine abbey founded in the 8th century on Lake Tegernsee in what is now the town of Tegernsee in Bavaria. It was the most important Benedictine abbey in Upper Bavaria until 1803. Today, the monastery buildings are Tegernsee Castle and are owned by the Wittelsbach branch of the Dukes of Bavaria.
