Maps and trails
Geographically, Saaldorf-Surheim is located on the south-eastern edge of the Chiemgau region and borders the Austrian Salzburger Land. The location is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling and offers breathtaking views of the Bavarian Alps.

One of Saaldorf-Surheim's most famous sights is Klessheim Castle with its magnificent baroque garden. The castle was once built as a summer residence for the prince archbishop of Salzburg and today houses a casino as well as an art exhibition.

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the local history museum in Surheim or the parish church of St. Nikolaus with its impressive frescoes from the 15th century.

Saaldorf-Surheim also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Be sure to try the regional specialities such as roast pork or Kaspressknödeln in one of the traditional local inns.

In spring and summer, hikes through the idyllic Rupertiwinkel are particularly rewarding - here you will find numerous marked trails along lush meadows, crystal clear streams and shady forests. In winter, on the other hand, the nearby Jenner ski area beckons with its slopes and cross-country trails.

If it rains, a visit to Salzburg's open-air museum is a good idea. Here you can immerse yourself in the history of rural life and visit historic buildings such as mills or farms.

In conclusion, Saaldorf-Surheim is worth a visit at any time of year. The breathtaking landscape, cultural highlights as well as culinary delights make this place one of the most beautiful destinations in the Berchtesgadener Land.

    nonostante il tempo incerto, bella la discesa da Badhofgastain a Bischofhofen....poi treno fino a Salisburgo. Dall'ingresso in Baviera, il panorama è cambiato, addolcendosi, tanti, troppi pascoli a discapito dei boschi e aria che profuma sempre di fieno e mucche. Impegnative le ciclabili con continui saliscendi anche con pendenza oltre il 7% Arrivo a Bergen alle 15.00, quasi con inizio della pioggia.

    Nur um den See gefahren ab Petting. Ohne die Südschleife. Ist OK, aber meistens weit weg vom See. Viel Radweg neben Straße.

    Mit E-Bike gut zu schaffen. Vom Bahnhof Freilassing gut zu erreichen. Uhrzeigersinn macht wirklich Sinn wegen schöner Badestrand Bäder.

    Tolle Oberbayern-Runde mit oft herrlicher Aussicht auf die Berchtesgadener Gebirgskette. Ein Abstecher zum Ausichtsturm des Ainringer Moos ist empfehlenswert. Die Route ist meist gut ausgeschildert mit einem braunen Frosch

    Schöne Runde um den See, bei schönem Wetter toller Blick auf die Berge. Bei unserer Wanderung war leider alles im Dunst verschwunden und nur kurzzeitig zu sehen. Die eingerichteten Infostationen waren super. Es gab beim Infohaus sogar eine Toilette in einwandfreiem Zustand. Die Vogelbeobachtungsstation war besonders schön, weil man hier einen absolut freien Blick auch auf die Berge hat. Viele Bänke zum Ausruhen und Genießen am Weg.
