Search hotels in Bad Wiessee

We chose Bad Wiessee as we wanted to be within easy-ish reach of Munich, but surrounded by nature. The setting is lovely, at the edge of the Bavarian alps. However, the town itself is not very interesting ☹️ It seems almost totally devoted to quiet, sedate home-grown tourism (maybe for an older crowd) and we felt slight oddities, as English speaking visitors. For example, the tourist information lady was not especially welcoming and gave us the wrong info about the boats over to Tegernsee. And the crew lady of one of the boats was also very unhelpful (rude in truth) when we didn’t understand the somewhat confusing boat timetable. Others (German speakers, unlike us) also seemed perplexed. Really, we would have preferred to stay in Tegernsee on the other side of the lake, as the boats only operated for limited hours and the train station is over in Tegernsee. Buses weren’t reliable!! We missed a train because we waited half an hour for a bus that never materialised. Bad Wiessee isn’t really suitable for those travelling by train / public transport , as we were. I’d pick somewhere else unless you have a car or fancy cycling everywhere. There were lots of cyclists (mostly older, on e-bikes). Plus food options weren’t that appealing. A lot of places seemed closed and/ or very traditional.

The location on the lake is quite lovely with fairly easy access by public transit. The Christmas markets were worth the weekend trip! I'll definitely come back during the spring to enjoy the lake in warmer weather.

The town was great, location for the dogs and walks were fantastic, it is just an overpriced hotel with little to offer! Would not go back because we have done it, but will definitely go back to the area to visit and walk more :)

Beautiful Lakeside village. We stayed at Horel Lada Am Eck, a no frills relaxed hotel. Very quiet with a few very good restaurants. We loved the Italian La Vela - but do book as it gets very busy and Gasthus Zum Post for an amazing mixed grill sharing platter. Easy to use boats for touring the other lake towns and bus system for getting about the area. It seemed the quietest of all the towns but lovely and relaxing walks along the lakeside. There’s a yacht marina. Lovely clothes shops and an amazing Gelateria.

It is a very clean and tidy place, the park is kept very nice, and the free concerts on the promenade are very good, there are some very nice walks round by the lake shore, the swimming pool is also very good, a great place to relax

Bad Wiessee has beautiful lake side walks and lots of lovely places to sit. Very well kept. Very helpful tourist information staff. Good concentration of facilities, including some very nice restaurants (particularly enjoyed our meal at the Niederstub'n) and great provision of public toilets. Schmid Franz bike hire in Bad Wiessee was fantastic value for money - only 7 euros for the whole day and you can drop the key off if you get back late - very helpful and friendly too. Not many places accepted cards which meant taking money out all the time. Could be more cafes open in the morning on the lake front - most places only opened nearer to lunch time. Felt like a more sedate town compared to Tegernsee and Rottach Egern - even though we were in our early 40s, we definitely felt we were some of the younger visitors! In Tegernsee the brewery restaurant was very busy, but excellent value, as is its gift store (watch the gift stores next door are very pricey though!). Also Cafe Aran on the lake front is a real gem - lovely place to enjoy coffee and cake. Again really helpful Tourist Information staff. Really recommend hiring bikes to cycle around the lake all day. We did the cable car up to the top of the Wallberg and walked down but you can take it down too. Also can recommend the walk between the Schliersee and Tegernsee - we took a bus to Schliersee and the stopped off half way at a gorgeous little hut which sold food and drink, halfway. It was about 9 miles and can 4.5 -6 hours depend how much you stop. Amazing views, good paths and very well signposted - you don't even need a map! Overall, Tegernsee is a fantastically beautiful area and very set up for visitors. Make sure you ask about the Tegernsee Karte.
