In the footsteps of
Bavaria
Bavaria is rich in stately homes and traditions
that continue to cast a magic
spell even today. Castles, fortresses,
country estates, entire towns and magnificent
palaces thrill visitors with their
impressive architecture that bears witness
to days gone by. Ornaments created
by luxury manufacturers bring
courtly splendour to their own four walls.
Welcome to sparkling worlds.

Regal atmosphere
STATE SPA BAD REICHENHALL
Built in 1900, the regal spa building
embodies the magnificent tradition of
the spa town. The stately open stairway,
the artistic ceiling paintings and
the exquisite chandeliers in this historic
spa building are truly impressive. Festive
balls, conferences, weddings and concerts
are still held here today.
In the footsteps of the Celts & the Romans
GUT ISING
Since 1934 this estate on Lake Chiemsee
has been owned by the aristocratic
Magalow family. In the hotel’s riding
centre and in the restaurant “Goldener
Pflug”, guests experience the history of
the estate at first hand. Visitors can enjoy
a break from everyday life in the modern
Gut Ising Spa & Wellness fitness suite.
The longest castle complex in the world
BURGHAUSEN
The symbol of Burghausen is the 1,051
metre long castle complex. From 1255
to 1503, the castle was the magnificent
home of the House of Wittelsbach. The
castle now houses three museums.
TIP: A particularly magnificent view of
the castle and the colourful old town is
afforded by a trip along the Salzach river.
