Water temperature…
Bayrischzell lies in the upper Leitzachtal valley at an altitude of 800 meters and is considered the epitome of an Upper Bavarian mountain village. Towering above the town is the 1,838-meter-high Wendelstein, easily accessible via the Wendelstein cable car from neighboring Osterhofen or the rack railway from Brannenburg. The village has preserved its traditional architecture with painted facades (Lüftlmalerei) and extensive alpine pastures. The hiking area around Seeberg and Sudelfeld features trails for all skill levels. Sudelfeld is also one of Germany's largest contiguous ski areas and is particularly popular with families. Bayrischzell was the site of the founding of the first Bavarian traditional costume association in 1911, highlighting its deep roots in local tradition. The spa gardens, with their music pavilion and regular concerts, provide relaxation. A special experience is a hike to Soinsee, an idyllic mountain lake in the Mangfall Alps. For a culinary treat, stop at one of the mountain inns to try fresh buttermilk and homemade cheese. Arrival is easy via the Bayerische Regiobahn directly from Munich.
