Kolbermoor, picturesquely situated in the Alpine foothills on the banks of the Mangfall river, is a dynamic town that has impressively integrated its industrial past into the present. The history of Kolbermoor is inextricably linked to the Alte Spinnerei (Old Spinning Mill). This monumental 19th-century brick building has been masterfully renovated and today forms the cultural and social center of the town, featuring modern galleries, inviting cafes, and chic boutiques that exude an urban flair. During a walk along the Mangfall canal, visitors can still discover remnants of the industrial era, surrounded by well-maintained green spaces. For nature lovers and active vacationers, the immediate vicinity of the moor and forest areas provides excellent opportunities for extensive walks and wildlife observation. The town is also located just a stone's throw from Rosenheim, acting as a well-suited starting point for excursions into the Bavarian Alps or to the nearby Lake Chiemsee. A special event during the summer is the cultural festival "Biennale Bavaria International," which brings a fresh breeze to the region. Kolbermoor excitingly combines the raw charm of historic industrial architecture with the idyllic nature of the Chiemgau.
