Excursion Destinations

and Sights

There is much to see in our vicinity. Baroque and Rococo have left us with famous churches and structures. King Ludwig himself built several castles within close reach, and renowned artists found inspiration in the charm of the pre-Alpine region…

Museums

Buchheim-Museum

The Buchheim Museum in Bernried houses a famous collection of expressionist art, ethnographic collections, and crafts from around the world. The museum building is situated in a beautiful park overlooking Lake Starnberg. And in about 30 minutes by car, you are already at the Deutsches Museum in Munich.

Museums in Penzberg

The new Museum Penzberg – Campendonk Collection impresses with changing exhibitions, showcasing many significant works of the artist and impressionist Heinrich von Campendonk, who worked in the area for several years alongside Franz Marc. The museum also pays homage to the Penzberg roots with an old, historically significant mining apartment. Numerous creative ideas complement the offerings.

Open Air Museum Glentleiten

The Glentleiten Open Air Museum is a museum village with approximately 40 beautiful buildings that were originally collected and reconstructed here. Farmhouses, alpine buildings, mills, and workshops are situated amidst meadows and farm gardens. Even swallows nest in the rafters.

Gabriele Münter-Haus & Franz Marc Museum

In the Gabriele Münter-Haus in Murnau, the summer residence of Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky, the original furniture of the artists is still preserved. Significant exhibits from the “Blaue Reiter” movement of Expressionism can be admired there and also at the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See.

Monasteries and Churches

Foremost among them is the Wieskirche, the Rococo jewel and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Pfaffenwinkel. The name “Pfaffenwinkel” attests to the many churches, monasteries, and chapels, all worth a visit – Ettal, Rottenbuch, Benediktbeuern, Polling, Beuerberg, and many more.

The Bavarian Royal Castles

King Ludwig II left an impressive legacy with his castles, creating tourist highlights for his beloved southern Bavaria that have not lost their allure even after more than a hundred years.

Linderhof Palace, a pleasure palace with the famous Venus Grotto in an extensive park.

Herrenchiemsee Palace, known as the “New Versailles,” situated on an island in Lake Chiemsee.

Neuschwanstein Castle, the king's dream turned into stone, boldly perched on a rock above the Pöllat Gorge.

Hohenschwangau Castle, the only truly inhabited castle. Ludwig spent many years of his childhood here.

For those who prefer not to travel too far, visiting the charming towns of Murnau and Bad Tölz in the immediate vicinity is a great option.
