2025 Chiemsee Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Man's Island is located in the southern part of Germany 🇩🇪. First take a sightseeing boat ⛴️, and it takes about 10 minutes to reach Man's Island. The island is green and lush, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a relaxing mood. A 15-minute walk will take you to the famous Herrenchiemsee Palace, a historic building. The garden in front of the door is a hot spot for taking photos. There are also outdoor restaurants on the island, which provide a relaxing dining experience. #Overseas Travel #Germany Travel

Located on the Men's Island in the south of Germany, take a tour boat to get there, then walk on the island for about 15 minutes. There is a fountain and a garden in front of the palace, with beautiful scenery. After entering the palace, you are not allowed to take photos 📷 or eat. The palace displays the living room and bathroom of Emperor Ludwig II, which is quite shocking. It is a good place to learn about history. #Overseas Travel #Germany Travel

Herren Insel is an island on Chiemsee that has a relaxing, serene ambiance that is perfect for recharging your energy while on holiday. It was a good experience visiting the place. The island gave me happiness, contentment and peace of mind while on my vacation. The air was fresh and clean that I really needed since I live in the city. It was very peaceful that I was able to relax my body and mind. Herren Insel has a Restaurant and cafe and can be reached by boat from Prien. We went to Chiemsee by car for more mobility although it is also accessible by train from any part of Germany. #herreninsel #germany #island #europe #asereneplacetobe #holiday #vacation

🚤To the royal palace on the lake! An elegant journey through nature and history on Lake Chiemsee🌅 Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria is a beautiful freshwater lake also known as the "Bavarian Sea". The magnificent Herrenchiemsee Palace built by King Ludwig II is located on Helen Island, which floats on the lake, and is overwhelmed by its splendor, almost like the Palace of Versailles. When I actually visited, the tranquility of the lake and the splendor of the palace were in perfect harmony, and the time spent traveling to the island by boat was also enjoyable as part of the trip. The lakeside promenade and small villages were also picturesque, and it was a journey that calmed my mind🚣♀️🏞️ It is about an hour by train from Munich. From "Prien am Chiemsee" station, walk to the port, and from there take a ferry to Helen Island. You can enjoy the romance of the lakeside with your partner, or quietly immerse yourself in nature and history by yourself. Walking around the lakeside is free, so it's perfect for an absolutely free trip!

#summervacay Often called the “Bavarian Sea,” Chiemsee is a dream for #summervacay adventurers and relaxation seekers alike. Its two main islands — Herreninsel and Fraueninsel — are accessible by ferry, with Herrenchiemsee Palace offering Versailles-style grandeur surrounded by alpine views. Swimming, sailing, and paddleboarding are top activities, and the bike trails around the lake are fantastic. It combines history, natural beauty, and summer fun in one unforgettable lakeside experience.

Hello 🌞 This time I would like to introduce Lake Chiemsee 🫶 There are several islands 🏝️ floating on Lake Chiemsee, but there are two main ones: "Herreninsel" and "Fraueninsel". Simply put, Herreninsel → big and spacious. There is a castle 🏰 Fraueninsel → small and has many restaurants. That's how it is 😉 The ticket for the sightseeing boat that crosses Herreninsel and Fraueninsel and returns was 13€! (As of April 2025) The interior of the boat 🚢 is in the 5th photo 👀 It's a pretty spacious and impressive boat. You can also buy snacks (although it's expensive...lol) My recommendation is Fraueninsel ☺️ You can spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature 😊🌱 (There are lots of cats 🐱) The first photo is also a photo of the restaurant 🍽️ on Fraueninsel. The Apfelstrudel is very delicious, so please come🥰🤤 It's far from the bustling parts of Munich, so I think many people don't know about it, but it's one of the places I would like you to visit if you come to Munich☺️✨ It's a good idea to bring some snacks🥪 💰Price per person: I think 35€ for meals and boat tickets is enough! *It will probably take a day to see the sights. Please make sure you have plenty of time on your schedule☺️ #GermanyTrip #OverseasTrip #Germany #Munich #LakeChiem #EuropeConquest

Lake Chiemsee is the largest lake in Bavaria, Germany, and is known as the "Sea of ​​Bavaria". There are the famous Herrenchiemsee Island and Frauenchiemsee Island in the lake. On the Herrenchiemsee Island is the Neuschwanstein Castle built by Ludwig II in imitation of the Palace of Versailles, which attracts many tourists. The picturesque Chiemsee, surrounded by the Alps, is an ideal place for water sports, walking and leisure. Many tourists come here every year to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.

We visited Frauen Insel during our holiday at Chiemsee. We took the boat from Prien and it was about 10 minutes ride. The island is such a beauty! It felt like I was in the movie location. Very lovely place! On the cover picture is my favourite place on that island. It was really peaceful sitting there on the bench while looking at the water and the mountain. It was a nice place and I am glad that I visited it. If you visit Chiemsee, a hop to Frauen insel is highly recommended ❤️ #fraueninsel #beautifulisland #chiemsee #holiday #peaceful #vacation #fairytalelike

Have you heard of Chiemsee in Germany? 🙂 I also went there thanks to a friend who was studying abroad while traveling in Germany. I went to “Chimsee”, which doesn’t have many reviews on Naver, as a day trip. Lake Chiemsee is said to be the third largest lake in Germany, and you can take a boat to Herrenchiemsee Island in the lake. You can also visit Herrenchiemsee Castle on the island! (English guided tour available/ No photography inside the castle) If you find a good swimming spot, you can swim with ducks in Lake Chiemsee. ㅋㅋㅋ I highly recommend it as a quiet day trip resort! #Germany travel #Europe travel #Chimsee Lake

During his trip to France in 1867, King Ludwig II of Bavaria originally planned to visit the Palace of Versailles, which he had long admired. However, he learned on the way that his uncle Otto had suddenly passed away, so Ludwig II had to leave in a hurry and missed the Palace of Versailles. In December 1868, he asked the court architect Georg von Dormann to design a preliminary draft of the building based on the prototype of the shelter of the Palace of Versailles, which was used for the Linderhof Palace in the Graswang Valley of the Alps, which was under construction at the time. It was not until September 1873 that Dormann proposed seventeen different floor plans, many front elevations and bedroom plans for Ludwig II to choose from. Another trip to France in 1870 was forced to be cancelled due to the unstable political situation, and the Franco-German War broke out in the same year. In the summer of 1874, King Ludwig II of Bavaria finally came to France again as he wished, and visited the Palace of Versailles, which he admired, and the water sports performances arranged by the French government as a state guest. Ludwig II had lost interest in the Linderhof Castle project because the space in the valley was not enough to support the huge building complex in his mind. The previous design plans were used for the new palace project on the Herrenchiemsee Island in Lake Chiemsee, Germany, which was purchased in 1873. The groundbreaking ceremony of the Herrenchiemsee Palace was held on May 21, 1878, and the bedroom part of the magnificent main body, which had just been completed and cost more than the island purchase price, was handed over in 1881. From September 7 to 16, 1885, Ludwig II lived in the unfinished Herrenchiemsee Palace for a few days and received actress Marie daan Hausmann. Until June 13, 1886, when Ludwig II died mysteriously, he had only lived in the Herrenchiemsee Palace for a few days. The cost of this palace was the highest among the three, exceeding the sum of Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Castle. Until his death, the construction cost of the palace had soared from the budgeted 5.7 million marks to 16.6 million marks, which was equivalent to 250 million US dollars in October 2013. The palace garden was designed by the royal gardener and garden architect Carl von Efner. Because the height difference of the island was small and the space was limited, only part of the reference was made to the Palace of Versailles, and it was impossible to achieve an accurate copy. The palace garden, a classic Baroque garden design, has a basic structure in a cross-shaped layout. The Letourne Fountain in front of the palace is the center of its landscape. The main axis is east-west, imitating the scenery of the Versailles waterway crossing the island and leading to Lake Chiemsee, and intersecting with the subordinate north-south axis. There are two large sculptures of water features on the left and right in front of the palace. The Roman god Fama is on the right, and Fortuna, the goddess of luck and destiny in Roman mythology, is on the left. The Fama Fountain at Herrenchiemsee Palace (Rudolf Meissen 1854-1904) was built based on the fountain model of the Palace of San Ildefonso in Spain The palace and gardens that tourists can see today have been restricted by the budget at the time. After the death of Ludwig II, some of the planned buildings, including some facilities in the garden, have been deleted. #德國旅行 #Chiemsee #赫伦奇姆新宮 #鲁德wigII #neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee #deutschland #germany #schloss #palace #sculpture
