Lake Tegern and Wallberg

About 50 kilometers from Munich, the beautiful Lake Tegern surrounded by mountains invites you to go cycling and swimming. The high mountains offer an impressive panorama and, like the 1722-meter Wallberg, are also ideal for hiking. If the climb up the Wallberg is too strenuous for you, you can alternatively take the gondola up. While you're there, enjoy the stunning views from the top station at 1,620 meters, the fresh mountain air, or stop in at the Wallbergmoosalm and enjoy some Bavarian cuisine.
