City hotel guide
Tegernsee
Tegernsee is a charming spa town situated on the banks of Lake Tegernsee in the Miesbach district of Bavaria, Germany. Nestled at an elevation of 747 meters, it is surrounded by the stunning alpine landscape of Upper Bavaria. The town's economy is primarily driven by tourism, offering visitors a serene escape into nature. A key landmark is the former Benedictine monastery, now a castle (Schloss), which houses a historic brewery producing the renowned Tegernsee Lager Beer. For frequent-flyer hotel travelers, Tegernsee provides a peaceful retreat away from major urban hubs, ideal for those seeking relaxation, cultural heritage, and scenic beauty. While direct airport connections require transit via Munich, the journey rewards guests with picturesque views and a tranquil atmosphere. The area is best explored on foot or by local transport, making it convenient for staying in lakeside accommodations.

Dining
Freihaus Brenner
This lakeside inn overlooking Tegernsee is picture perfect; in summer, the terrace is nothing short of sensational! The interior is especially inviting, with cosy dining spaces done out in warm wood. The delicious food is inspired by the seasons and often showcases locally sourced ingredients. The menu features regional classics such as roast pork or duck as a speciality, alongside internationally influenced dishes. The charming front-of-house team work well together. This is also a wonderful venue for special occasions. Tip: For overnight stays, there is a gorgeous suite on the top floor.
WebsiteGourmetrestaurant Dichter
You enter this fine dining restaurant either through the side entrance or via the lobby of the luxurious Parkhotel Egerner Höfe, just beyond the elegant bar and decorative glassed-in wine cabinets. The setting is upmarket, slick and modern, with three Japanese holly trees housed in eye-catching glass cubes. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford views onto the grounds and sculptures outside. Traditional French cuisine meets modern innovation in this kitchen, where dishes are expertly crafted with particular emphasis on regional produce. A good example of the harmonious combinations that showcase the
WebsiteRestaurant Überfahrt
Cornelia Fischer, who heads up the kitchen at the fine dining restaurant of the splendid Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt, is by no means a rookie when it comes to running a kitchen. Most recently head chef at Zur Schwane in Volkach, she is now showcasing her contemporary take on classic cuisine here at Überfahrt. Excellent ingredients go into the two four-course set menus, one of which is vegetarian. The fresh, tenderly cooked Breton langoustine with delicious braised fennel and a classic shellfish and orange sauce is one outstanding example. Additional dishes can be swapped in or out to tailor you
WebsiteHirsch & Jägerstüberl - Ostiner Stub'n
This typical regional inn proposes two separate culinary concepts: The fine dining restaurant is open Fri to Sun evenings, and the more rustic Hirsch & Jägerstüberl is open Wed to Fri from 6pm and Sat to Sun 12-2.30pm and 6-9.30pm. The emphasis is on produce from the region, and the dishes take their cue from the changing seasons. The fine dining restaurant also serves set menus. Attentive service. In summer, tables on the lovely terrace overlooking the garden are much in demand.
WebsiteHaubentaucher
The fabulous lakeside location and wonderful terrace are certainly part of the appeal here, but this restaurant has plenty more to recommend it. Dedicated chef-patron Alois Neuschmid, who earned a MICHELIN star years ago at Lois, his previous restaurant here in the same town, cooks up a storm for his guests. At lunchtime, the menu features simpler daily specials, such as fried black pudding, pasta or Wiener schnitzel; in the evening, fine dining is the name of the game, with a four-course surprise menu. In the contemporary, seasonally inspired dishes, the main ingredient is often presented in
WebsiteFährhütte 14
This restaurant, an offshoot of Überfahrt, enjoys an idyllic lakeside location. The modern decor has a touch of rustic maritime flair while the service is friendly and accomplished. International and seasonal dishes. You will also have the opportunity to rent a deckchair on the beach! N.B. the restaurant is not accessible by car – getting there involves a 300m walk.
WebsiteJennerwein
A truly delightful establishment with a charmingly rustic inn atmosphere – it's genuinely cosy here. The menu includes freshly prepared seasonal Bavarian cuisine such as braised shoulder of lamb with root vegetables, or beef tenderloin on a bed of fried mushrooms and potatoes, as well as parmesan risotto with king prawns. More limited options at lunchtime.
WebsiteAlois-Anton Kaminrestaurant
A good alternative to the fine dining restaurant of the Park-Hotel Egerner Höfe. The choice is yours: dine in the cosy Bavarian-style dining rooms dubbed "Alois" and "Anton" or in the more upmarket Kaminrestaurant. Just as charming is the terrace, which is sheltered from the wind and has a view of the pastures and mountains. Either way, you can enjoy cordial service and regional and seasonal dishes in a pleasantly laid-back atmosphere.
