Take a day trip from Munich to the picturesque town of Chiemsee, home to the 19th-century Herrenchiemsee Palace, often referred to as the “Bavarian Versailles.” Located on an island in Lake Chiemsee, the palace boasts grand architecture, lavish interiors, and beautiful gardens inspired by French châteaux. King Ludwig II designed it to honor Louis XIV of France, and it offers stunning views of the Chiemgau Alps.
Chiemsee, known as the “Bavarian Sea,” has a rich history from Roman times to medieval monastic life. Explore Herreninsel Island, where a Benedictine monastery once stood, and enjoy the serene beauty of the lake and its surroundings at your own pace.
