Soyen

Soyen lies at the foot of the Alps and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The municipality covers an area of about 42 square kilometres and has a population of around 3,500 people.

One of the best-known landmarks in Soyen is the 12th-century Hohenaschau Castle with its towers and battlements on a rocky outcrop above the village. Today, the castle houses a museum of folk culture with interesting exhibitions on local history.

Another highlight are the many traditional Bavarian inns in Soyen, where you can enjoy delicious regional specialities such as pork knuckle or pretzels. A special recommendation is the Brauhaus Oberbräu, which has been brewing beer for more than 400 years.

When it comes to outdoor activities, Soyen offers many opportunities for hiking, cycling or swimming in the nearby Chiemsee lake during the summer months - boat trips are also possible! In winter, you can go skiing or ice skating on the frozen lakes!

For culture lovers, we recommend a visit to the annual "Kunsthandwerkermarkt" and the "Brauereifest", where you can experience traditional crafts and local specialities.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to nearby Rosenheim with its many museums, theatres and shopping opportunities. Or visit the indoor swimming pool in Bad Aibling to get some exercise during the rainy weather!

Overall, Soyen is a destination known for its scenic beauty, cultural highlights as well as culinary specialities - definitely worth a trip!
