Bad Bayersoien is located about 90 kilometres southwest of Munich and is surrounded by mountains and forests. The highlight of the village is undoubtedly the Soier lakeshore, where you can wonderfully relax or go swimming.

The tourist-relevant sights include the church of St. Georg with its impressive ceiling paintings as well as the local history museum with its interesting exhibitions on the history of the region. Cultural highlights include the numerous concerts and theatre performances in the Kurhaus and the annual arts and crafts festival.

Culinary specialities are also available here: be sure to try the regional specialities such as pork knuckle, veal sausage or pretzel dumplings! And if you feel like something sweet, then you should definitely try a Kaiserschmarrn - a traditional Austrian dish made from battered pancake dough with sultanas and apple compote.

The area around Bad Bayersoien is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or skiing (in winter). The best season for this? In summer you can hike in the mountains or go swimming at the lake; in winter the nearby ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen beckons with its numerous slopes.

And what to do when it rains? Then we recommend a visit to the thermal spa or the indoor playground. Here you can relax and enjoy the time while outside the weather is not so cooperative.

Where is it most beautiful in Bad Bayersoien? That's hard to say - every place has its own charm! But in any case, you shouldn't miss the view from the Hörnle: From here you have a breathtaking view of the entire valley and the surrounding mountains.

Overall, Bad Bayersoien is definitely worth a visit. If you are looking for a quiet holiday destination where nature and culture go hand in hand, then this is the place for you. We hope that this Travel Guide has been helpful to you and look forward to welcoming you to Bad Bayersoien soon!
