Seecamping Taching am See

Haven’t got enough of watersports at Seecamping Taching am See? Fret not, as the site is less than half an hour’s drive from Chiemsee lake, where you can swim, sail, row, take a pedalo out, or take the easier approach with a paddle steamer tour. Chiemsee is also a top destination for non-water activities: explore the islands of Fraueninsel and Herreinsel for a Benedictine monastery and two castles (one of which was modelled on Versailles). Speaking of castles, quite a few are within day trip distance: within an hour of the site, you can poke around the fortress of Tittmoning, Herrenchiemsee palace (that’s the Versailles one), Burghausen (the largest castle complex in Europe), and Klessheim, Hohenwerfen and Hellbrunn over the border in Austria. If you’re up for a longer trip, Bavarian must-sees Linderhof, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau are a little under three hours away. If you’re craving city life, Salzburg is a 40-minute drive away. Make the trip for Mirabell Palace and Gardens, tours and tastings at Sliegl Brauwelt, Hohensalzburg fortress, the Salzburg Residenz palace museum and gallery, and the zoo. It’s also the birthplace of Mozart and a major location for the Sound of Music, so be sure to sniff out some tours.
