Swim in the
inviting waters from one of the many lakeshore bathing beaches with
spacious lawns for sunbathing and playgrounds. On cool days, yield to the charms of Prienavera, the water activity centre, or the thermal baths of the Chiemgau Thermen in Bad Endorf with its
new sauna facility.
It is wonderful to take a cure right around the Chiemsee! Prien is the only
Kneipp treatment spa (a Kneipp cure is a type of hydropathic treatment combined with diet, rest etc.) in Upper Bavaria and Bad Endorf draws its healing power from one of
Europe's strongest iodine thermal springs. While your circulation is being stimulated, any rheumatic illness, high blood pressure or sporting injuries are being treated; your body and soul may recover.
Hardly any other countryside in Europe offers a geological history as interesting and fascinating as the alpine area's history. The Chiemsee owes its varied form to the last ice ages some 20.000 to 10.000 years ago. Through the times of emerging and passing they formed the country. The basins of the Chiemsee and many
enchanting lakes are traces of glaciers pouring out of the mountains into the foothills.
