Maps and trails
Bad Bayersoien is located about 90 kilometres southwest of Munich and is surrounded by mountains and forests. The highlight of the village is undoubtedly the Soier lakeshore, where you can wonderfully relax or go swimming.

The tourist-relevant sights include the church of St. Georg with its impressive ceiling paintings as well as the local history museum with its interesting exhibitions on the history of the region. Cultural highlights include the numerous concerts and theatre performances in the Kurhaus and the annual arts and crafts festival.

Culinary specialities are also available here: be sure to try the regional specialities such as pork knuckle, veal sausage or pretzel dumplings! And if you feel like something sweet, then you should definitely try a Kaiserschmarrn - a traditional Austrian dish made from battered pancake dough with sultanas and apple compote.

The area around Bad Bayersoien is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or skiing (in winter). The best season for this? In summer you can hike in the mountains or go swimming at the lake; in winter the nearby ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen beckons with its numerous slopes.

And what to do when it rains? Then we recommend a visit to the thermal spa or the indoor playground. Here you can relax and enjoy the time while outside the weather is not so cooperative.

Where is it most beautiful in Bad Bayersoien? That's hard to say - every place has its own charm! But in any case, you shouldn't miss the view from the Hörnle: From here you have a breathtaking view of the entire valley and the surrounding mountains.

Overall, Bad Bayersoien is definitely worth a visit. If you are looking for a quiet holiday destination where nature and culture go hand in hand, then this is the place for you. We hope that this Travel Guide has been helpful to you and look forward to welcoming you to Bad Bayersoien soon!

    Ich bin die Tour ab Ettal gefahren und konnte den anstrengenden Aufstieg zur Brunnenkopfhütte ohne schieben bewältigen, allerdings mit einigen Verschnaufpausen. Statt auf den Brunnenkopf bin ich die Stunde noch zur Großen Klammspitze gewandert. Sehr empfehlenswert, allerdings sollte man keine Angst vor Kletterpassagen haben.

    Der Weg ist nicht gesperrt, aber aufgelassen und deshalb nicht mehr gesichert und beschildert - kurzum in einem schlechten Zustand, weshalb von einer Begehung abgeraten wird. Vgl. Meldung des Naturparks Ammergauer Alpen e.V. Pfade in schlechtem Zustand!

    A small pleasant route. But just in the first snowfall day's morning it wasn't cleaned from snow. The Winterwanderweg's continuation to Bad Kolgrub was also not cleaned from snow. Maybe other later days they're normal cleaned Winterwanderwegs, when cleaning transport is not needed in more important roads, not sure. It's nice to go around the lake (it was cleaned well) and this Panoramaweg together. Overall, the area is very calm, beautiful and safe in winter (no snakes vs. a warm season, no smell due to soil fertilizing, no crowd). There are a lot of benches with nice views. Well-cared hiking area, thank you.

    Eine tolle Runde die ich absolut weiterempfehlen kann. Wir sind allerdings in Uffing am Bahnhof gestartet. Neben den vielen schönen Aussichten, fanden wir, dass sich ein kleiner Abstecher an den See gelohnt hat, wo ich das Moortreten mal ausprobiert habe. Weiterhin fanden wir die Sonnenuhren als lohnenswert, interessanten Stopp. Unsere Pause haben wir am Kiosk am See, gut die Hälfte der Strecke, gemacht. Danke fürs einstellen!

    In der Tat eine sehr schöne Tour! Diese sollte eigentlich als Top-Tour angezeigt werden, als manch anderer schlechter Scherz hier. Nach den ganzen Höhenmetern der letzten Tage fast schon ein Spaziergang. Wir sind den ganzen Weg via Navigation gelaufen, ohne Probleme. Alle Wege waren da und so wie sie sein sollten....

    Grundlegend sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Runde. Der Anstieg über die Hörnlegruppe ist zum Teil recht knackig (21% Steigung). Die darauf folgende Abfahrt ist anfangs doch recht anspruchsvoll und nichts für MTB Laien oder Anfänger.

    Landschaftlich sehr schöne Tour, immer wieder mit Blick auf die Alpen (heute mit Schnee). Etwas viel Asphaltweg (daher nur 4 Sterne).

    Wunderschöne Tour, die ich nur weiterempfehlen kann. Danke fürs Einstellen. Allerdings kommt mein GPS-Gerät auf etwas mehr als 400 Höhenmeter - was dem Vergnügen keinerlei Abbruch tut.
