Bavaria’s largest lake, Lake Chiemsee, is more than just a scenic paradise—it’s home to one of King Ludwig II’s most magnificent castles. Join Sepp on a private day trip to explore the “Bavarian Sea”, set sail to Herrenchiemsee Palace, and enjoy a relaxing Bavarian island adventure.
Private Tour: Explore Bavaria’s Stunning Lake & King Ludwig’s Majestic Island Palace
A Perfect Start – Pickup & Bavarian Hospitality
The journey begins in the morning, with pickup from your hotel or private accommodation in Munich, Berchtesgaden, or Salzburg. Settle into a comfortable vehicle, where cool drinks and snacks await.
On the way to Lake Chiemsee, Sepp will share fascinating stories about King Ludwig II, his obsession with Versailles, and why this stunning lake has captured the hearts of locals for centuries.
All Aboard! Boat Ride to the Royal Island
Upon arrival, we board a traditional boat and set off across the shimmering waters of Lake Chiemsee. Our first stop? The larger of the two islands—Herreninsel.
Step into a Fairytale – Herrenchiemsee Palace
Walking onto Herreninsel feels like stepping into a different era. Here, we’ll visit the breathtaking Herrenchiemsee Palace, built by King Ludwig II in 1878 as a tribute to Versailles.
- Wander through the lavish halls, golden chambers, and extravagant mirrors
- Discover Ludwig’s vision and his unfulfilled dreams
- Stroll through the majestic palace gardens, inspired by French royalty
After this unforgettable royal experience, we return to our boat and set sail for the next gem of the lake.
Fraueninsel – The Hidden Jewel of Lake Chiemsee
The smaller Fraueninsel may not have a palace, but it boasts something just as special—a 1,200-year-old Benedictine abbey that still operates today!
Here, we’ll:
- Visit the historic monastery
- Stroll through charming fishing villages
- Enjoy stunning lakeside views
Of course, no Bavarian adventure is complete without good food and beer. We’ll stop at a traditional beer garden, where a delicious Bavarian lunch and a cold drink of your choice await.
A Relaxing Journey Back – Ending on a High Note
After a day filled with royal history, stunning landscapes, and island charm, we board the boat one last time and return to shore. From there, we’ll make our way back to your hotel or starting point, with memories of King Ludwig’s fairytale world and the beauty of Lake Chiemsee to last a lifetime.
