Visitors will need to budget plenty of time if they wish to take advantage of the region’s many recreational
opportunities, and that applies in winter, too! Attractive winter options include the recently modernized
Spitzingsee ski resort, Sudelfeld, which ranks as Germany’s largest interconnected ski area, the fastpaced
toboggan run on Wallberg Mountain and plenty of prepared cross-country ski tracks. For group fun,
nothing beats an Eisstock tournament – a sport with similarities to curling, also played on an ice court.
Many towns have clubs that make their well-groomed courts and equipment available to the public, so
make sure to give it a try!
Those who prefer more easy-going activities may wish to visit Weyarn, where a walk along the “cultural
path” introduces you to works of art by local artists. Another exciting option is the observatory atop Wendelstein
Mountain for a close-up look at the stars. In the town of Miesbach, the theater and musical shows
in Waitzinger Keller should not be missed. And this represents just a sampling of what’s available!
Other sports and fi tness opportunities abound in Miesbach and Tegernsee, as well. The Point recreation
facilities in Tegernsee, for example, offer beach volleyball courts for your very own tournament. And, in
Bayrischzell and Schliersee, groups can enjoy a Nordic walking experience complete with expert trainers
and fi tness testing.
If your group prefers sporting activities, then you have also come to the right place! Most towns in the
region offer bicycle rentals, and the area is known for its expansive network of bike paths and trails. The
many options available include traveling along the Via Bavarica Tyrolensis trail all the way to Tyrol (Austria),
exploring the Lake Constance-Königssee bicycle path or taking advantage of guided tours – such as
Von Baum zu Baum, which reveals interesting information about the local trees. Whatever your level or
interest, be it leisurely cyclist or hard-core mountain biker, you will fi nd a tour to match. As a tip, keep in
mind that the bike paths in the northern part of the region have a charm all their own, as well as fewer
hills to conquer than the trails along the southern routes.
This one-of-a-kind experience is available to fortunate visitors on one of the 50 guided tours offered each
year by the Miesbach-Tegernsee Kreissparkasse, as part of a unique golden eagle conservation project in
the Mangfall Mountains that the bank sponsors. Even better, it is just one of the many natural and recreational
highlights that await you when you visit the Tegernsee-Schliersee-Wendelstein vacation region. For
example, you can also head to the Aquadome, Bavaria’s largest fresh-water aquarium, in the town of Bad
Wiessee, where you can observe 20 different species – including pike, char, entire schools of whitefi sh
and the indigenous crayfi sh.
Imagine your group has been hiking up the mountain for 4 hours, each of you equipped with binoculars,
a Brotzeit snack and a thermos with tea. By now, you are perched high atop a cliff behind the Rottach
Alm, with a clear view of Setzberg Mountain, waiting to fi nally catch a rare glimpse of the “king of the
skies.“ Yes, you and your group are underway on a very special bird-watching tour, in hopes of setting
your eyes upon a majestic golden eagle. Suddenly, you realize this is your lucky day, as one of the mighty
birds soars high above you, its wingspan of almost 2 meters letting it almost effortlessly circle above.
